i remember seeing it on the discovery channel and being completely disturbed for 2 months. it's not that there's still a dead fly there, it's something like it gets used by the plant to feed itself or something. i'll go back to google it and hopefully disprove myself.

LOL...figs are good for an orgy, for the females anyway...not so good for the males. :p
From the site Sana linked to above:
"The exiting female wasps emerge from the neat circular tunnels cut by the males and fly off to other receptive syconia to lay their eggs, and the whole cycle starts all over again. With their purpose fulfilled, the tiny males soon die within the syconium, never leaving the place of their birth and sexual orgy."

Geez all that brain power and you still can't pour milk in your cereal :rofl: :rofl:Originally posted by sana
oh and by the way, did you know that figs develop as fruit after a fly lands in the sticky flower? which means in the middle of every fig is a dead fly. so you basically just ate 3 flies.
