Lily beetle or black headed cardinal?

They are very attractive but very destructive to a number of lily species.
I don't like killing things but spent a spring a few years back hunting these down and squashing them.
They do have the unnerving ability to 'scream' when in distress ie shortly before being squashed (it's actually air being compressed by their wings)

Not v popular by all accounts.
