What's eating my beans??

I'm a bit of a newbie gardener. Had a small garden last year (just grew tomatoes, basil, zuchinni, carrots and mini pumpkins), but am hoping for lots this year from my SFG! Very Happy

Everything is looking pretty good, except for a few of my pole beans and one pumpkin. I've looked at the plants and the only 'bugs' I see are ants.

I appreciate any help!!

Pumpkin (Sugar) - I have others in the same box and they are looking good, it's just this one.

Pole Bean 1

Pole Bean 2 - Other than these 2 bean plants, the others in the same box are looking good.. aside from a small nibble here and there, these 2 are the worst.

I would suspect Mexican bean beetle, leaf miner (I think I can see some sign of them in the third picture) or slugs.
