Is it still cutworms?
 

It hasn't rained for about 3 weeks. Almost all my bean plants has been
cutted as if by cutworms. I'm surprised because I thought that after
they have a dozen leaves or so they would be too old to be attacked by
cutworms. Maybe they are attacking the beans now because they ran out
of cuke seedlings. Maybe I need to plant beans just to keep them away
from the pepper seedlings.

Stick a nail or toothpick in the ground along side your seedlings. A cut
worm cant do any damage if it cant completely encircle the plant.

Do you have snails or slugs there??

I've decided it's rabbits because it's now eating pepper plants. I put
collers around the bean plants and they ate parts sticking over the
collers.
