But doesn’t this mean that figs are filled with dead wasps? Yes. But not in the way you think. After the wasps have perished, they are digested by the fig plant’s enzymes, which dissolve the insect’s exoskeleton.

Interesting, I never thought of the fig tree as a (partially) carnivore plant.

The wasps aren’t exploited, they’re not in a much different situation than wild pollinators that go around pollinating, drinking syrup, having sex, and dying.

If there are wasp breeders for the fig trees, then it’s a problem.
