White maggot/caterpillar??? Can someone tell me

I spotted 2 white maggots on my plants leaves and killed them immediately. Any chance anyone would know what they are and if there’s anything I should do. Should I spray insect repellent on my plants? Most of my plants are all late flowering, another 1-2 weeks to go. I’m growing in coco + perlite, few flies and insects managed to creep into the tent while plants were being watered. All the leaves seem fine, none of them eaten or bitten.

Looks like a Cutworm. they usually come out at night, they live up to 2" down in your soil. They also fall off and roll into a circle when disturbed.

After looking at it more it could be a budworm or caterpillar that likes bud. Never had budworms here so can only go by Google. Cutworma do look pretty much like that too. Someone with more info will chime in. But it's def one or the other and neither are good for the flowering stage.

I had cutworms and they generally only come out at night.
