Indian Strawberry

I went crazy trying to figure out what this was.  For some reason looking under Google with "wild" and "strawberry" didn't find it!  You would think that that would have been sufficient, but it wasn't (at least in the first four pages of results).  Anyhow, it is Duchesnea indica.

For those who want to know, the flowers are yellow, while they are white for wild (and non-wild) strawberries.  The berry was about 3mm in diameter and I used Helicon Focus to merge about 20 photos taken with my Nikon bioscope.
