    I think we need a photo, or a more detailed description.  Possibilities are springtails or crickets.  Or giant fleas.

    Springtails aren't harmful tordi. They won't harm your Strawberry's. You soil is maybe a bit wet. Get some grit in there and they'll reduce in number. They are essential for soil health and the microbes within the soil.

    Thanks for all suggestions.  Will have a closer look at them and see if they are poring springtails
