Then, the males die inside the figs, but not before boring tiny
holes through the fig's skin.
When the females do emerge, the fig has just started producing
pollen.
The female wasps pick up some of the pollen, before making their
way, through the roles.
Their Brothers drilled, and go off to find a new fig to start the
cycle again.
But the story's not over.
Mas a história não acabou.
At this point, our figs seed are finally mature and ready to be
Até este ponto, nossas sementes de figo
planted.
And that happens when ripe fig is eaten the animals, which poop
out the seeds, spreading fig plants far and wide.
Of course, human eat figs, too.
Naturalmente, humandos comem figos, também.
So, when you bite into a fig are you actually eating the bodies
of dead wasps?
Well, you're getting your figs from the supermarket, then most
likely not.
See, humans and figs have a really long history - we've
probaly been domesticating them for over 11.000 year.
