I'd advise you to get them under control. The damage they cause, may look harmless, but these lil shits will reduce harvest significantly. I will look for a pic from last year where they took an entire branch off (sucked it off the stem) among other damage, before I got them under control. Check under leaves too, for eggs. The baby ones look like grains of salt. Really small and white. Like big trichs

Shake your plant's stem and watch for hoppers hopping to other plants. You can keep up with worms by hand, but unless you are super hyper active, these lil fuckers will get the best of you

I use Don't Bug me, liberally, from week 4 on (I've seen no leaf damage and no hoppers, to date...knock on wood). I'll alternate when it's worm season, between it and Safer cat killer. One or the other every four days
Good luck
