Crap! Something is eating my basil! 😖

Ok, all you gardeners, what should I do?

@see_the_sus
Could it be a Leaf Cutter Bee? I watched one a few summers ago turn the flowers of a geranium plant into lace.
It cut out perfect circles on the tip of every petal on the plant. Kept coming back for two entire days until the job was done. 😂
Can you get some netting, like a bridal veil, and wrap the pot & plant with that?
These bees are small, like a large house fly.

I'm going to go with @Brandy and @Tarnagh 's suggestions and use diatomaceous earth. I already have a bag because I use it to keep spiders out of the apartment, so I wont' have to spend any money. Yay!

Never heard of the critter but I'll try to keep an eye out for it. I do have a big problem with flies because my (street-sized) trash & recycling bins are inside my patio (no other place for them).
