About 3/4 leaves on my pole bean plant look like this:

Also, I saw this moth on my cotton:

Should I be worried about? Is it the moth of some garden pest?

Is it the same moth as the one I posted about here?

Re: the beans -- did you look under the leaves? Any culprits hiding?

These links might be helpful in identifying some of the insects that like beans.
Do you have a lot of grass, cabbages or nectar plants nearby?

Oaks, willows, and peaches are the listed larval host plants -- so it depends on what you have. If you have peaches, then you might considere them a pest. As far as I know, this moth is not a mass invasion type like army worms so oaks and willows should be able to handle it unless they are very small saplings.

It's very out of focus but could that be a blister beetle? I thought there is a species that eat army worms. But I don't have time to look it up.
