Is there a way to find out if it will turn to a butterfly or moth and which species? Also I don't have the host plant leaves to feed it so wondering what other leaves I can offer it. It's little more than a centimeters in length.

Found this little guy in a bean pod
I cannot provide a specific i.d. for this specimen; it most likely is a caterpillar of a moth in the superfamily Pyraloidea - see https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ian_Stocks/publication/311534606/figure/fig2/AS:437399021985796@1481295461984/Larva-of-Duponchelia-fovealis-Photograph-credit-Henk-Stigter-Plant-Protection-Service_W640.jpg for an example.
Thank you!!
