strange formations on a placental tissue

[Tarzan]

I've seen them in many pods, 1 out of 3 or 4 has them. Scorpions.
 

 
It seems to me there are some super-miniature pods with tails growing out from inside.

I just picked some out of my Jamaican red and put them in my pepper vineger for show. Cool

Yep, sometimes a pepper does grow more peppers inside. Still perfectly edible.

Welcome to pepper growing.

I'm growing peppers for a while, but until now, these formations were quite rare, this year, T. Moruga Scorps have them regularly. I know they are edible, well, despite the pain.
 
And one more thing is strange, the original pepper doesn't show a tail or it's just a stump, these little buggers inside all have whips.
