Thanks Zaz, and no, I did not know about fig wasps until you mentioned them.
Didn't know there are over 900 species of fig wasps who are specialized to pollinate over 750 species of fig trees. Tiny cute little buggers too, measuring 1-2 millimeters in length. Fig wasps and fig trees evolved together in a mutually beneficial relationship called mutualism (love it!!!).
and Oooooooo, the real magic of the story lies in what happens once a female enters the fig.
"Edible figs do include at least one dead female wasp. However, it is not quite the urban legend that fruits contain insect meat.
When a female wasp dies within an edible fig, an enzyme known as ficin in the fig breaks down her carcass into protein. The fig essentially digests the dead insect, incorporating it into the resulting ripened fruit."
Still reading........... but,
fig wasps and figs are all sorts of Awesomeness (
