Wilted leaves on bean plants

For the most part, my beans are looking good. But today I found a few leaves that were looking wilted. Is this a water problem (it's been hot, windy and very dry here in North FL) or is more of a disease problem?

Some of the leaves I cut off of a bean plant

A couple of leaves starting to curl

The rest of the plants look good

Aphids can make a leaf curl like that. Look very closely both sides of the leaves for insects. I don't know what to suggest if you don't think its insects.

Thanks for that idea. We have a problem with aphids on the peas so I'll look for those on the beans too. Thanks again
