My pumpkin was turning orange, then just melted to the ground with little holes in it? what could this be?

0 1
Our pumkins were growing beautiful, but we noticed some small holes in it.  Yesterday, I checked on it and it was beautiful, changing to orange.  This morning we go to check on it, and it is melting, like there is nothing inside of it.  I am assuming that there is some type of bug or worm inside of it.  What can we do to prevent this from happening to the rest of our pumpkins?

I don't know where you live, but I've had that happen before with cantelope, just as it was starting to ripen. Fireants went underneath and hollowed it out and ate it all in one day. Caught them in the act!

for fire ants put cornmeal in a squished food can and turn sideways they will eat the raw meal and then can't digest it.
