Wasps (and yellow jackets are wasps) don't eat plant material. They are predators who eat other bugs. They also seek out moisture and sugar this time of year. You're seeing the wasp, but it is probalby eating the critters who are eating your tree, or after the sap that is produced by the wounds.
Yeah....that sounds more like it.
Maybe he was just searching him for grain?
I'm telling you guys, they eat leaves. I wish I had taken a video. A yellow jacket did this , it was there for several minutes just chowing away on this leaf.
I was super surprised when I saw it. I've read they do eat sap, so maybe it got carried away. Here are some pictures of my ficus though. Could be something different. I thought they were old pruning sheer cuts at first, but they keep appearing

And the pelicans think other birds are fish too. Apparently birds are like manna. They taste like anything you wish them to be.
Okay, so after looking up Leaf cutter ant, "bee" also popped up in possible google searches. I searched Leafcutter Bees, and they do exist in California, though the cuts don't look perfectly straight. I guess they cut leaves and take them to build nests. I need a night cam to see what kind of precision insect is performing laser cuts on my Ficus leaves.
Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do!
