Wasps with wings inside a fig.

[Rob]

Sorry this video is not particularly clear, but although we are often told that wasps always lose their wings on entering a caprifig, this certainly proves that incorrect. All wings here are certainly not without damage, that is certain, but the myth is totally busted. It is also interesting to see all of the short styles that have had eggs inserted into them, by the dark dots everywhere. In a couple of months, all of these will be mature male and female wasps.
