What kind of bugs are eating my garden?

Its my first time growing a larger vegetable garden. Things were going fairly well but something is eating all of the leaves off of my beans/peas. They were growing nicely and climbing the trellis. I went out tonight to pick some tomatoes and all I have left on the beans and peas are the stalks. Not a leaf in sight.

The tomatoes have been left along for the most part. Same with the squash. The cucumbers have been nibbled a little but not too bad.

Any idea what kind of bug I'm dealing with and what to do about it?

    appears like grub worms and horn worms. try sevin dirt. basically sprinkle the dirt gently on the leaves. For snails, your beer theory works in a bowl buried so the rim is at at floor point. Make a small collar a pair of million" huge out of newspaper and wrap it around the biggest stem of your pepper flowers at floor point. optimistically the grubs will stay out. Hornworms are super and could be hand picked off the tomato flowers and discarded.
