Pillbugs. AKA sowbugs. AKA rolly-pollys. They're a land-dwelling crustaceans, more closely related to things like crabs and shrimp than insects. They actually don't prefer to eat things like strawberries; their preferred food is rotting matter (they're "dessicavores"). However, they tend to go through boom and bust cycles. When it's wet and there's lots of organic matter around, their populations explode. When their population is high and their food supply isn't sufficient, strawberries are a common target for them to eat. I've never had to control them, but I've heard it's tough. You can try diatomaceous earth or black plastic. Best control is prevention, though -- don't have organic stuff that stays soggy on the surface, and keep good airflow in the area.

Well, if it's eating the leaves -- most the holes I see are old damage -- it deserves to die! So flick any you find into slightly soapy water.

I think a likely candidate are earwigs or Dermaptera. They are nocturnal and can make a pretty round little hole in soft fruit though 2 mm is pretty small for an earwig. If you go out at night with a flashlight, you will find the culprit feeding if this is your pest. They are easily controlled with rolled up newspapers at the base of plants and discarded the following morning. Repeat as needed until pests are reduced. I usually think of slugs as strawberry pests, but it sounds like you are familiar with their damage. Pill bugs or roly polys (sp?) that are crustaceans can munch on strawberries, but they are more interested in them once they are overripe and soft and mushy. Lastly, we now have the spotted wing drosophila fly here in Colorado. They lay their eggs on ripening fruit, and the larvae turn the fruit to mush. I doubt this is your pest, but worth a look on the web to see if it matches your symptoms. Hope this helps and keep us posted if you find any insects in the act.

ok, would you be interested to join a seed savers program for the best ever boer ford pumpkin from South Africa, which is named Cucurbita maxima 'Pumpkin de Durban'? This flattest white variety has compact and thick flesh very high in carothene. It is best for any processing: you can make puree, when baked. Or you can can or quick-freeze it. Fruits are best in late winter. So you don´t even have to preserve them. This variety is a strong climber, with vines growing up to 50 foot long. First picture shows yellowish younger fruit, while mature fruits are pure white. Second picture shows, how size can differ. But the ratio diameter to stalk-blossom-distance always has to be more then 3:1 Third picture is to see that odd halloweens against the African white for best reflection of sun light to keep fruits cool in the full sun.
