Is this a wire worm maybe? sorry the picture isnt more clear but My Poona Kheera fruit is infested with these. Lost 10 or more fruit to them already

Could be pickleworms. Try Googling a picture of a pickleworm close up and see if they look the same. I can't see your pictures very well. Sorry.

Agree with pickleworms, look that up first and see if it's a match for what you've got. Wireworms are usually dark gold or brown in color and have a hard outer shell. Your pests look soft-bodied and greenish.

I believe they are pickleworms after looking at pics, thanks
