Is a moth of some kind a possible bean pest?

This morning on insect patrol, I noticed a small tan moth flitting from one bean leaf to another, but when I Googled bean pests, no moths were mentioned, though lots of pests were. Is it possible this moth is a first stage of something that can become a pest?

I don't panic after seeing an insect I don't recognize if it's the only one. I just try to ID it to see if it's an insect I should keep a watch out for. I've seen too many benign insects that seem to like to visit gardens. I once saw a butterfly resting on a bean leaf, slowly fanning its wings. The next time I looked, it was gone.
