Green Worm? Caterpillar? in habanero

Howdy folks, newby here. Hope this hasn't already been answered somewhere else. If so, I couldn't find it. I looked up most of the "common pests for chili peppers" and didn't find anything exactly like this. It bored into a habanero fruit and was happily munching away in there. This is the one and only one I've found on my plant this summer. What is it? Should I be worried for this and my other pepper plants?
