Dragon fruit pests and fruit drop

Hi guys. I have tons of flowers from different types of dragon fruit. Nothing has set yet and I am finding these worms in many of my spent flowers and dying fruit. Does anyone know what these are? I have done a bit of research and nothing comes up. I am hoping it is just from the rains recently but I don't think it is. I had a couple fruit set last year without hand pollinating but the vines were pretty young. This year I have tons of flowers but major bug issues. HELP! If you click on the pic it will play the video. You can see the little white larvae with red heads.

I had the same problem last season. Has anyone else found this continuing, or a solution?

those didnt get pollinated either by cross so they smell made the maggots come so that is where it comes, the flower turns yellow about a week after it blooms,
