Lavender Beatle!!!

Hello! I had noticed pretty iridescent green Beatles on my lavender, thought them pretty and left them, on closer inspection I see they have been chomping the top of the stems off! 
I found them nestling in the joints of new growth and have hand picked them off and "disposed"of them shall we say, 
but I was wondering if anyone had any tips of other methods of ridding, not spraying tho, thanks

She's her mother's daughter!!! a child of the 60s - Beatles indeed - are they really John, Paul, George and Ringo??? And you with an English degree indeed!!! LOL!!! Go on - blame your tablet and auto-correct!!! 'beetles'!!!
I think hand-picking them off is the best (and probably the only) way
By the way, did you know it was Prince's 57th birthday yesterday??? 57??? How did that happen???

Those are the fellas Pansy! Not happy with them at all!
And yes Dove, way to busy to read back so wing it and let autocorrect give you a chuckle!
