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.
