@onewing Thank you for your comment Babs, after a bit of research on the internet I can now identfy it as a Black Vine Weavil, they eat a wide variety of fruits and ornamental plants so will have to go:)

@ingrid01 Thank you for your comment Ingrid as you can see above its a Black Vine Weasil, currently looking how to get rid of them without damaging our strawberries:)
