After all the discussion regarding measurements, there doesn't seem to be
an answer given. As there were half a dozen sweet peppers in my garden
with the same issue, I was hoping someone would answer.

The only way to really know is to let a slug grow. I had larvae
wandering around my ceiling and into my dry food. It was by looking
at the parents that I realised I couldn't be so tolerant of moths
coming in at night. (That and using jars rather than packets).

So what flies around your garden? I've seen small slugs in sweet
peppers, I suspect they get in at the flower stage, but I just wash
then out if there's little damage. if you're in Aussie then your bugs
are different to ours (nz) and the horrifically numerous critters in
the americas. My Yates books talks of protecting from "slugs and
snails and caterpillars"
