This appears to be a booklouse (see http://m7.i.pbase.com/o3/55/932755/1/127391797.HfWs2Sco.BooklouseLiposcelissp.JPG), in which case you need to find another cause for your strawberries' demise....

Booklice primarily are scavengers on bits of organic matter and very seldom cause any damage. Just to rule out any other possibilities, could you please post a clearer image of one or more of these as well as one of an ;infested; strawberry crown?.
