I've had some crawl out of hanging, drying buds before. They looked just the same but white in color. A larvae of some sort. I Hate to think back throughout the years of just how many of them lil bastards I've actually smoked, It's All Part of the outdoor growing game. :eyesmoke:

Put it in a shot of tequila….
There starting to limit purchases of Patron and other fine drinks. Due to the lack of supply, in some U.S. states. That's a sad prediction of things to come. Maybe I just start making Moonshine as well ;)

I‘ve thought about how to get rid of them before. About all I came up with was washing the buds in water and H2O2. A good soak with some agitation might get them to let go. I never tried it; just decided they didn’t bother me that much. I have a lot of love for ladybugs.

I've done the bud washing thing. The 3 bucket job. Yes it removed Hella lot of crap. But I didn't like how the buds felt like and looked after drying.. plus they seemed to dry faster than usual, which I thought was weird. JM2C :peace:

So if I find1 is the plant finished or should I harvest yesterday
So ladybugs eat other bugs as adults. As nymphs I’m pretty sure they’re predacious too. Makes me think the larva is as well. So if that’s true, then unlike most bugs it’s not eating your plant. Maybe it crawled in there for aphids? I’m not joking about that, they’re a very aggressive predator. Now if it decides to stay in your bud and go to the next stage in it’s cycle, then that’s not so good if it’s in there shitting.
Your plant’s not finished. You have or had a food source for them on your plant, likely aphids, and they set up shop.

I had those little fuckers in a few of the buds from one of Blueberry Shortcakes last season. They seem pretty hearty too cuz they were still wiggling even after the buds were dried.

Toss em in some tequila.
They’ll last an easy month in my dry/cure room. I find them when I dry trim.
Remember I told you I love ladybugs, so I can’t squash them like I do to most bugs, I get up and put them outside….
