    Well I talked that up didn't I? On harvesting the last few dwarf Frenchies today for shelly beans, I noticed quite a few pods had holes in and gone rotten, and the seeds inside were rotting too.
    On close inspection, I saw there were tiny little maggots inside the pod living in the rotting material. Yuk

    I've popped them inside my butterfly tent to see what they turn into
