Should I harvest (caterpillars and problems)

I found two rolled up leaves with web. Opened them up to find a mess of black dots, all my lower leaves are being destroyed and I can't find a single caterpillar anywhere. I know I'm close to the finish line but don't want to risk losing my crop. The buds look great, just not fully swelled. But a goodanority of my fan leaves are now being eaten. Trichs are cloudy for the most part minus a few spots of amber from touching the bud like a dummy.

With that much damage I would be worried about bud rot also..
An early harvest is better than no harvest..
 
You can always chop some and leave some on the plant, parts that seem to have a better chance of surviving.
 
IMG_20211004_182318089.jpgthe colas are safe. Inspected for bugs, holes, poop, no signs of rot or trouble in them. Thanks you guys. It seems the bugs just attacked the lower branches. I'm happy with this about a week early harvest. The stem was hollow and I heard that if it's the size of a McDonald's straw and a little bigger you are in the harvest window. Don't know if there is truth to that but if there is, I hit the window
