In know your comment isn't serious but do you know how wasps pollinate figs?

It's pretty cool, the fig is actually a load of flowers pointing in towards the middle of what we think of as the "fruit". Each variety of fig has a specific species of female wasp that burrows in and then lays its eggs inside. The male larvae hatch first, fertilise the female larvae, burrow out and die. The females then hatch, use the burrows to exit and fly off to find a new fig. The female wasps fertilise the figs in this process. Some wasps end up trapped inside the fig and get partially dissolved by an enzyme...

Some commercial varieties have been bred to fertilise themselves but in the wild the figs don't ripen without the wasps.
