Width was less than .5 cm, or in inches about 1/8" wide.
The cuke was a foot or two off the ground, so not sure
how a slug could have gotten to it, but I imagine that's
possible. There are some small shelled snails outside but
those seem to remain on the ground sticking to the
bottoms of dead leaves and their shells are much bigger
than the hole.

Looking through the wireworm picks, there are definitely
some flying bugs out there that look similar. There are flying
roaches, a few ladybugs(?), lizards all over the place (they
love to eat all types of bugs). There are what appear to be
some kind of bug eggs on the bottom of the leaves.

What do ladybugs eat? They seem to roam the tops or
bottoms of the leaves. I'm wondering if that white egg
looking stuff are ladybug eggs. The leaves are being eaten
but nothing too devastating.

I noticed one cucumber a couple months ago, was
the first cucumber I grew, that developed a hole in
the bottom of the cucumber. I pulled it off the vine at
that time as I wasn't sure when to pull it off. I cut it
open and didn't see any bugs inside... would that be
a borer that dug about 1 to 2 inches into it, a nice
tunnel?

A borer or pickleworm would have moved right in and
made itself at home. How wide was the tunnel? If it
was quite narrow, perhaps a wireworm (click beetle
larva) did some exploring. If it was wider, maybe a
slug spent some time working its way in before moving
on.
