Greetings,

Lurker "Tony" here.   Need some suggestions.

Background:
I'm in Northern Virginia.  I have numerous plants potted on the 
deck.   Long Red Cayenne, 2 Jalepeno, Firecracker Piquin, and a 
Tabasco.  Just went to do my daily check, and morning water, and noticed 
that one of the younger cayennes had some holes in the bottom of the 
fruit.  As I looked at it, the fruit fell off.   On opening it, I found a 
brown stripped small worm/grub inside.  The intruder is about 3/4 of an inch.

Question:
Anyone have an idea as to what the thing was?   I am concerned about future 
occurrences, but currently don't have any other signs of invasion.
Except for the little bit of Miracle Grow that I occasionally use, I would 
rather avoid using other chemicals, and am looking for a more natural 
solution to repel these things.

TIA for any help
