There are brown spots on the leaves and some leaves are curling up, going brown and falling off. What is happening?

unknown beetle

Question from Liz

Hi
I found these 3 little critters under my dahlia pot this morning. Any idea what they are? Are they good for the garden or bad? If they're bad, how do I eradicate them?
Thank you Liz

Hi, I live in the UK and each year my Cercis gets these sticky white blobs on them. Does anyone know what they are - pest or disease? And how to get rid of them? Thank you

earwigs

Question from Liz

Hello
What is an effective way of getting rid of earwigs? Can you spray plants and flowers with an insecticide? I had them last year eating my clematis flowers.

Sick tulips

Question from mrs finch

Hi, I have a cut new flower bed dedicated to tulips. They have started looking sick at one end of the bed . Is it a virus?? Should I get rid of all the tulips in the bed and start again next year? Can I use the same bed? Hopefully some one will tell me it’s frost.

Sudden discolouration of indoor lilies

Photo from Andrew Christie

Hello everyone. We have two different lilies: one a Peace Lily, indoors, one stem of which suddenly went completely yellow/brown (pic 1) recently while the other main stem remains normal. The leaves (pic 2) have also developed brown patches.
Pic 3 is a Calla Lily, also indoors, which has simultaneously developed brown spots in parts, as shown, just recently after the summer.
Does anyone know what might be wrong - and are they likely to be linked from the plants being in the same room? Is it an autumn phenomenon?
We've had them about 3 months and haven't done much differently recently. They have occasional quick spells on the patio when watering (once per 1-2 weeks), and therefore some brief exposure to external air conditions and autumnal winds.
Any suggestions welcome - thank you!
