HELP! Found American Dagger Moth Caterpillar Inside Tent

'Help!' seems a bit excessive but it is attention getting. I've got 4 plants in a 2x4x5 all from clones. Flipped to 12/12 today. Peaked inside and found what I believe is an american dagger moth caterpillar crawling on the edge of a pot. The tent was cleaned after my last grow (2 plants from seed), and rest are clones. I guess it's possible the clones had eggs that didn't hatch until recently? Seems very unlikely considering how small they were. The only thing I can think of is I repotted one of them about 1.5 weeks ago. It was only outside for 15 minutes or so while I did it. Maybe something got on and I just didn't notice. In any case, can I just give these a dose of BT and be set?

I'm gonna go comb through and make sure I didn't miss any.
 
I found a fuzzy pus on an outside plant last year, the one you found and the fuzzy pus are both stingers so be careful. Neem oil works and will also screw up the eggs, as least for the fuzzy pus it did.
