Can't resist adding yet another possibility to the pot:

They sound like Mexican bean beetles to me. Their larvae look like little
yellow prickly-fuzzy things, so if you've seen anything hanging around that
looks like that, consider it a clue. They are very nasty to green beans;
they eat their leaves in such a way that nothing is left of them except
their skeletal structure. Quite sad. I have no idea what kind of
relationship, if any, they might have with pepper plants.
