Oh Heaven
by: Patrice Michel

Oh thank heaven you just saved me my mental state. I have been trying to find out what this guy is for 2 years. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now know that the little Trichogramma I keep seeing is my buddy in control. I am very glad to because I have been making sure my garden in completley organic. And tricho. is helping . Thank you Moni

Your larva is a Lycaenid pod borer. Thanks to your photo and description we have a positive ID.
There are a lot of Lycaenidae family larva but knowing where you are and what it was eating was a great help.
Here is more info from Univ. of CA about it - http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/GARDEN/VEGES/PESTS/podbor.html

There does not seem to be a photo of the butterfly, but here is the subfamily of 'Blues' butterflies that this insect belongs to, so it may look similar - http://bugguide.net/node/view/12666/bgimage

thanks for sharing this interesting insect.
