Saw my first leaf-cutter only a couple of weeks ago Richard. Didn't get a chance to look at its underside...

Saw one this year making a home underneath some sempervivums in a pot next to a sheltered wall. It was fascinating to watch this little creature tunnelling under the gravel into the gritty soil. It looked as if it was flying in on a little green magic carpet. Kept me entertained for hours!
I love watching Leaf Cutter bees I always have one nesting in my greenhouse behind the wood with the plug on it and I have noticed some bees have been using my small bug box
I tried to take a photo of a leafcutter bee - if you look closely you may be able to see it
