All my runner bean seeds have been destroyed by a thread-like worm , about 1inch long .The most in one seed was five of these . They have reduced the seed to mush inside. I cannot find anything similar in any of my gardening books.I would appreciate an answer. C. North Yorks

I've been in contact with Sutton's , Even they were baffled but said they would do some research and get back to me tomorrow.I hope they come up with something positive.

no phone call from Sutton's, But I did find some reference and likeness to a " snake centipede "only a diagram.I was under the impression that centipedes were
okay for the garden , not these ,.I have been catching them with a "carrot trap",but there is a lot of them and I'm beginning to think that they came with the runner bean seeds. Has any one got any info on these pests?
