[@cza5897]

This video is by far my most favourite of this channel. :)

[@ainsleyharris5387]

Okay so this made me curious, so question here. Could Figs be considered into the category of carnivorous plants? Since they’re inverted flowers, the fig wasp needs to crawl inside of them to pollinate them. If they crawl into a female fig, then the fig gets pollinated and also sorta ‘digests’ the wasp for nutrients. I know it’s not carnivorous in the way the video presents the idea, I was curious of others thoughts?
