They shouldn't. I don't know about the exact origin of the figs in question, but as I understand it, the filling is "fig jam," which is pureed figs. Okay, so yes, technically there may be wasps' eggs in there, but they'd be pureed. Basically think of it as a protein supplement.
Kinda crazy, the lifecycle of figs and wasps. Creepy as hell, but I do love my figs.
Figs reproduce through a unique symbiotic relationship with fig wasps. The female fig wasp enters a fig through a small opening, lays her eggs inside the fig's flowers, and pollinates the flowers in the process. Once the larvae develop, they emerge as adults, and the male wasps mate with the females and then die inside the fig. The fertilized female wasps then leave the fig to find new figs in which to lay their eggs, continuing the cycle.
the fig benefits the most because the fig wasps pollinate the figs therefore the fig wasps feel nothing.
because it is catchy
The relationship between figs and fig wasps is a classic example of mutualism, where both species benefit from each other. Female fig wasps enter the fig's syconium to lay their eggs and, in the process, pollinate the flowers inside. The fig provides a safe environment and food for the larvae, while the fig benefits from the wasp's pollination, ensuring the production of seeds for future generations. This intricate partnership is vital for the reproductive success of both the fig and the wasp.
Figs and fig wasps engage in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The female fig wasp pollinates the fig's flowers while laying her eggs inside the fig's specialized flower structures. In return, the fig provides a safe environment and nourishment for the developing larvae. This relationship is crucial for the reproduction of both the fig and the wasp, as the wasp's life cycle depends on the fig, and the fig relies on the wasp for pollination.
