Ive had holes in the leaves on my strawberries all summer, i found a
very few tiny about 3mm green caterpillars but not enough to be an
infestation, so dont think theyre the usual sort. Apart from not looking
good with holes in the leaves, the crop seems to have been reduced
considerably, I sprayed with my usual Murphys insecticide, but to no
avail. Too late for this year, but I would like to avoid a repeat
performance next year if anyone has any advice please...

phorbin is right you need to give the basic interrogatives, and then
more, to get specifics. Pics are always good.

Yet w/ a bit of quick searching you can find these that may help you:

Thanks so much for links, definitely not leaf roller though, no webbing, but holes are spread out, and quite small and round at first, seasons over now, but just keen to avoid same next year. ..bit puzzling though as i found so few worm things, considering the damage they did! Thanks for your help.
