Something is chewing up the leaves on my Lima beans. I tried the soapy water method but no luck. Any ideas?

Looks like leaf cutter bee! Probably not a problem for your beans. Good bug to have around.

That looks like caterpillar damage to me. Handpicking or neem oil are my go to methods.

I thought caterpillars too but haven’t seen a single one. They are sneaky

I had a sneaky tobacco hornworm take almost an entire tomato plant before I found him. They are very sneaky. They tuck under the leaves and where the stems leave the main stalk.
