Watch out for bud rot if they get into your buds.

I was going to post the same thing just a couple weeks ago but put the piece of leaf in a little jar and let them hatch. Little baby caterpillars is what came out so it was some kind of moth or butterfly that laid those. Never found any more on any other leaves or plants so no need to spray for them.
Empty eggs.
If you find lots score some Safer's BTK biological insecticide and spray your plants down. Safe even in flower and is just a bacteria that rots their guts and kills them but stops them feeding almost immediately. Similar to the BTi in mosquito dunks for those and fungus gnats.
Good luck!

The Safer's BTK is safe in flower. It washes off easily and won't hurt you none even if you don't wash your outdoor crops tho a good many growers do these days. If you have good clear weather near harvest you could just hose everything off then give the plants a shake to dry faster to get that and all the other dust and crap that gets onto outdoor buds just by being outside. Indoors in soilless medium with filtered air is so much cleaner all around.

do not spray anything on your buds besides water. Sure soaps and organic whatever sprays wont kill you, youll just wish you were dead after you taste the crap you sprayed on your buds if you plan on smoking them. The caterpillars tend to get lodged in buds and their poop can turn into bud rot. watch for it.
Just yesterday for the first time ever I found those small caterpillars all over some plants I have growing outside. Very small and blend in with the color of leaves. I picked off and killed every one I could see. Didn't see any eggs on leaves anywhere but with that many eggs on a leaf they could have been laid on a single leaf..
That’s what I’m hoping every morning I find the eggs on my shade screen
