Hi,
Thanks for the web site . I'm an organic gardener myself
and dont use chemicals. I'm not certain but from the
picture on the site it could be a european corn borer .
If I catch them early I can just squeeze the stem and kill
the worm as they start at the very top of the pepper. Thanks
again for the info.
