I know this post is old and considered solved, but I have updated info on it for people who are not subscribers. I had this caterpillar on my Hyacinth Bean vine also and could not find out exactly what it was on the internet so I put it in a jar with 2 bean pods. Today it hatched from it's chrysalis. It is a Gray Hairstreak Butterfly! It is so cute and beautiful yet small. I would take a picture of mine but it is too wirey so I copied a pic from http://www.tylertexas.info/photos-east-texas-butterflies.htm to show what it looks like. So if anyone else has this "problem", don't worry, my caterpillar only took out two pods out of the MANY that I have. Let it live and be happy! :)
