Oh yeah, the bud rot thing. How many bud (%) seem to be affected? When you posted about the hard all night rain a while back I was concerned about that. I figured your buds would be dense enough to not be able to dry on the inside & this might happen. My questions are about your grow area. If you ran a line above your girls, got a very large sheet of clear or white plastic (I get it on a roll, 20X100'), put the plastic on the line over the girls like a tent, slide it all the way back to one side to uncover in good weather, then slide to back over them before the rain, weighting the edges down very well, would that be visible to prying eyes? My next thought would be 5gal buckets & drag them into the garage, porch or other cover before a rain. I know, smaller plants, less harvest, more work, but hey, no bud rot. You might want to consider at least a few in buckets for next year, with the east coast being what it is for torrential rains & hurricanes. Hurricane last fall took 1/2 of my garage roof, severely damaged house roof, took out 7 large trees & put them on top of my well & rotted all my buds. Seems to get worse every year.

Shovel gave you good advice. If you can make a positive ID on thoes nasty little buggers, call your local ag extention office & see what they recommend. But what ever that would be, I'm sure it would be a poison, so wash well before harvest. Might as well have a full arsenal. If you can't narrow down an ID, put one in a baggie & take it into local ag office, tell them they're destroying your whole garden. So close & now this. Wish I there to help.
