mutualism
Figs and fig wasps have a special relationship that is essential to their mutual survival. The fig provides a home for the wasp and the wasp provides the pollen that the fruit needs to ripen. The insect's life cycle begins when a tiny female wasp enters a fig and begins laying eggs inside it.
The type of wasp that possesses a photographic memory is the paper wasp.
In these orchids, the male wasp approaches to mate, but instead gets covered with orchid pollen. Then he pollinates the next orchid flower that he visits, so the orchid is enhancing its chances of reproducing by having evolved this appearance.

Yes, the presence of a specific type of wasp, called a fig wasp, is necessary for the pollination of a fig. The fig wasp plays a crucial role in the fig's reproductive cycle by transferring pollen between fig flowers.
Recently scientists found that a solitary ground-nesting wasp, the European beewolf wasp, harbors Streptomyces bacteria on its antennae and that the wasp uses these bacterial symbionts to protect the wasp larvae against pathogenic fungi.This would be a commensal relationship, where the wasps benefit, but the bacteria are not affected one way or the other.

Small wasp larvae are parasitoids of caterpillars, meaning they develop by feeding on caterpillars from the inside. The female wasp lays her eggs inside the caterpillar, and the hatched larvae consume the caterpillar's body tissues until they are ready to pupate. This relationship benefits the wasp by providing a food source and can be harmful to the caterpillar as it results in its eventual death.
