The pod borer is one of the most destructive pests of legumes, particularly beans and cowpeas. Its larvae burrow into the pods and feed on the developing seeds, causing significant damage. Lima Bean Vine Borer: The lima bean vine borer (Monoptilota pergratialis) is an occasional pest of the large-stemmed bean varieties. The mature larva (caterpillar) is 7/8-inch long, bluish-green with a tint of pink on its back, and has a yellowish-brown plate behind its dark head capsule.
