Could be back to the ol' Horn worm... They will eat peppers too. but eating the seeds...hum??? Look for droppings under the peppers, or damage to the leaves also.

have you looked at this?

Pepper Maggots
The adults are yellow flies with brown bands on each wing. They lay their eggs within the peppers, and the maggots feed from the inside out, causing considerable damage. If you see any maggot flies, spray with rotenone to control before they begin egg-laying. Once the maggots are inside the fruit, there's little you can do but pick and destroy infested peppers.

Pepper Weevils
Common in the South, these tiny black-snouted beetles are only 1/8 of an inch long. Don't let their size fool you; they can cause a great deal of damage. Adult weevils feed on the foliage and lay eggs in the buds of immature pepper pods. When the eggs hatch, the larvae eat through the buds or fruit, causing them to drop or to be misshapen. There may be several generations a year. Dusting or spraying with pyrethrum helps to control them.

Papito sent me a great page on different pepper pests. I think the weevil or one of the flies is a definite possibility. If I weren't so blind I would probably have seen the critter that did it. But at least now I know the kinds of pesticides I'll need to get to take care of them.
