Worms in chilli seeds?

[tiachica]

Hiya,

some of my chilli seeds that have sprouted seemed to have lost their first leaves still within the seed shell, which then dropped off. So now I I have three chilli stalks. I wondered what happened, if a snail had snapped them off or my boy, but today I spotted two tiny wriggly worms within the latest seed shell?

Anybody come across these before?

I haven't come across it myself but I suspect they are from the compost. Compost is often host to little flies which will have a wiggly stage in their development. Try again with fresh compost and maybe give it a blast in the microwave first?
