I'm not sure what exact bug but I like Monterey that has Spinosad in it for leaf munching critters. I try pretty hard to only use it in veg and then spray with peroxide or citric acid only for spider mites in mid flower. Anything later than that and I don't spray it it on my buds, or food for that matter. I don't care what the label says, they're not the ones smoking it.

Is he snacking on the plant or snacking on something further down the chain?

So it cant be any kind of mite? Is the picture too zoomed and blurry? It might give wrong idea about the size of it ...

No, not a mite. Most mites are less that a millimeter, some are significantly smaller.

Diatomaceous Earth is helpful, and sprinkling the first couple inches of stem. Pyrethrum used with DE.

Hang a beetle trap, spray the yard for grubs.

Does look like an adult grub.

Don't get the ones with the hormonal lures. I found I was drawing in more Japanese beetles than I ever had before with those dumb traps. Just get something to trap them in soapy water sold in a lot of organic garden centers. My neighbors were probably loving it when I used those hormone traps, I drew in every beetle for miles
