Vanishing sugar leaves?

Vanishing sugar leaves?
What type of vile creature does this to my plants? Outdoor grow about 3 weeks till harvest, everything‘s been going good, good Tricom production, still clear. But the leaves just sorted to vanished, so they don’t seem to be touching the colas, but the leaves are gone.
Should I Harvest now to save the girl?? or should I wait out the last three weeks hoping they can withstand the barrage! Again, they just seem to be eating leaves.
Thanks!

BTW the pictures are leaves of one of the buds that has almost all the sugar leaves vanished. The other two are buds on the plant. One is not even been touched. The main cola is huge.

I figured out it was less than 1/2” black with green stripe down middle caterpillar. I got them under control by putting diatomaceous earth around stem and aggressively exterminating the bastards by picking them off. It seemed to have worked, down to my last week before Harvest. My 1st outdoor grow in 30 years!

Yea you have to pick through the plant quite often to find them darn things. I always have them trying to eat mine. I found you can look for tiny little black/ brown speckles on the leaves and do pretty good finding them that way. I’m guessing it’s their poo or chewed up bits. Glad you got it under control though.
