At a first glance I thought they were Diptera larvae but then I saw the legs; Barb Read collected the Kangaroo apple fruits in Watson

glad you did not eat them!

I direct seeded along drainage line and paddock close to the Hackett water tank. However, I don't know whether the seeds need to be processed in one way or the other before direct seeding. If you have more fruits, collect and we could direct seed at drainage line where we tackled the Sweet Briars on Sunday.

Ok, I will get more.
See https://dhseedharvestco.com/collections/australian-natives/products/solanum-laciniatum-kangaroo-apple-seeds for advice on sowing seeds - aimed at sowing into potting mix not direct sowing...
I think ignore the bit about smoke treatment.
