I have 3 Hibiscus plants, a Kopper King, a Pink Swirl Luna Hibiscus, and a Fireball and all 3 of them are doing this curly que thing. My husband thinks its the heat that we've had for almost a month straight with no rain...

I know something is eating it and I have looked for sawfly larvae and there is none, I had sawflies really bad last year. Nothing is on the leaves at all but when I opened the blinds this morning on my way to work it is blooming on one halfway decent stem and I found these varmints deep inside the blooms. What are these guys and are they causing my damage?

You can see some of the buds are dying before they bloom.
