    Hi sorry the picture is not clear but I keep finding these very thin maggot type things with black heads eating some of my peas (bottom left of pea pod). Any idea what they are. They are not much of a problem I just want to know what they are.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Not really a problem in ordinary peas, you shell them.

    Not so nice in sugar snap or mange tout though;)
