White worms in the flower buds

Hello, I just found this list and hope someone can give me some 
advice. I garden in Maine and have had a problem the last few years 
with the buds on my Siberian being chewed up. Thought it was thrips, 
but on close inspection this year I have an infestation of small
white 
worms that are eating their way through the flower buds. I have also 
found one
     small brown beetle in a bud, so I'm not sure if these worms are 
the larval stage, but they are really ruining the
     flowers-they are tattered as they open and all chewed up inside. 
Any ideas on how to deal with this problem
     would be hugely appreciated. These are my favorite flowers and I 
have hundreds. So disappointing to see them in
     ruins as they bloom. 
     Thanks
