What bugs eat actual buds?

[ptk2k]

hey all, was doing a little defoliation on the ladies a bit ago, when i noticed a top bud that seemed to have been bitten right on the top. all the hairs are gone.. it’s like a bald little nug lol. not much of the actual bud is missing, just a bit, & lots of hairs.

what bugs eat actual nugs? thought they hated eating THC..

Caterpillars, thrip and leaf miners is usually a good start...

i’ve had thrips but a very small amount.. can they shred the top of a nug like that??
