Yes beetles are food.
Almost all wasps are carnivores to some degree. And some species of wasps feed on beetles. However, most wasps are very specific about what insect, or spider they choose to eat or to feed their young. And the wasp can be highly adapted and optimized for perusing their preference for specific species, or even sub-species. For example, tarantula hawks, a rather large wasp, only pursue tarantulas, nothing else. And some may only pursue one specific tarantula species. This species-specific trait of predator for prey can sometimes be quite beneficial in agriculture to control a specific insect problem without impacting other insects, which may be beneficial. A farmer will order a specific commercially available wasp species (or other predator insect types), or their larva, to be released in his fields to control a very specific insect pest. This is a form of biological pest control that, in some cases, has proven to be quite effective. If you have a specific beetle, which is eating your crop, there may very well be a specific wasp species with a preference for that specific beetle.
