Cut off the back end of the fig, the felame is looking for the opposite end, and the males are just gonna make a new hole out. Cover the cut end with serane wrap, you can see everything inside without leaving a big hole. Or maybe they just pushed a small camara through the other end, idk lol.

@Mark_Money420 Жыл бұрын
@@earlysda "God of evolution"? I don't know who told you evolution is a god, but they are either very stupid or just massively misunderstanding. Evolution is a natural process, not a god, nor dictated by one. In a very simple sense, evolution is basically the development of characteristics that are useful for a species over time, and sometimes losing characteristics no longer useful. This is caused by mutations in DNA, and sometimes these mutations provide great benefit to survivability to a species, and as such, those with the beneficial mutation will survive better to continue passing it on until it is the new "normal" for said species. Over billions of years, this process has led to all the life we see, derived from a common ancestor that all life shares, most likely a very simple single cellular organism. We can even see this process happening today in real time, like bacteria developing genes that make then resistant to antibiotics, thus improving survival, and passing it on which is going to be a big problem for medicine in the future as more time passes. So evolution is not a "god" of any type, nor is a god necessary for the process to occur. Even most Christians nowadays understand evolution is an undeniable, observable fact of nature, they just place god as the one who "created" life in the first place and "directed" evolution, although I personally don't believe in that. Most Christians understand Adam and eve is a tale made up by ancient people to explain something they had absolutely no understanding of. Although Muslims do still believe the Adam and eve tale, because they believe the earth is only 6 thousand years old, which, yea, good luck finding evidence for that, because all the evidence proves earth is about 4.5 billion years old, life has been around for billions of years (dinosaurs, lol) and universe is far older even still. No god in evolution, no god needed nor mentioned anywhere in the theory, just plain scientific, observable facts and cold hard evidence proving it. Although again, most Christians do put their god as the "force" behind evolution and "creator" of life, which hey, whatever floats your boat.

There are no dead wasps in "common" figs if you grow your own figs outside of fig wasp areas (if you don't live near a few small pockets in California or near the Mediterranean). There are hundreds of figs that are "Common" type (don't have to worry about male/female or wasps). Black Mission, Brown Turkey, Violette De Bordeaux, Italian 258, Del Sen Juame Gran, Izbat An Naj, Campaniere, Olympian, Celeste (to name a few Common fig varieties). If you live in a fig wasp area, fig wasps can help pollinate these common figs... They will actually be slightly larger, a little sweeter, and have a heavier seed crunch, but you can still get AMAZING figs without the wasp. If you live anywhere above zone 5, try to grow an italian 258 fig and let it ripen all the way and it will blow you away. It's like strawberry pancake syrup flavored goodness. No wasp needed. There are hundreds of Caprifigs, san pedro and smyrna figs that require the fig wasps for at least one of their crops. Don't worry about these. Find good common fig and have fun. They're amazing.

If this was told from a human's perspective, it definitely sounds like a horror movie. Imagine a pregnant mother with strong twin-birthing genes stockpiling her underground bunker in preparation for childbirth. She seals the only opening to the bunker that is so small that her arms and legs would be broken as she enters it for the last time. The trauma causes her water to break and she gives birth to a pair of non-identical male and female twins. The twins, driven by instinct, feed on the stockpile of food inside the bunker, never knowing the outside world. Once both of them hit puberty, the twins engage in incestuous behavior until the female shows signs of pregnancy. The male then uses all of his strength to crack open the bunker's opening, just large enough for the smaller female to exit, leaving himself to die inside as his food supply eventually runs out. The female however wastes no time travelling vast distances alone to scavenge for food and materials to build her own bunker, ready to start the process all over again.

@eugenef0zzy18 күн бұрын
If you think about it from another perspective there is actually nothing sad about it since the wasp is deeply immersed within nature, fulfilling a higher purpose to pollinate the fig in a selfless way… us humans only find it sad because the ego makes us believe we are separate from nature and the ecosystem we came from… and because of that every being should have selfish motivation. There is much to learn from the insect world cus they are much more ancient than us. They have mastered a way of living in harmony with their environment, they have matriarchal societies, and some even know how to cultivate mushroom mycelium. Although it may look sad or scary at first, just like the death of a man’s ego, we realize that being selfless can actually relieve existential anxiety, and is actually one of the most beautiful aspects of Mother Nature.

That's a pretty impresive symbiosis. What's even more surprising to me is the short life cycle of those wasp. Do they compensate the small genetic pool by having a new generation every 2 days ? It seems very ineffective from an evolution standpoint to have a species that only reproduce between siblings. I'm also very curious at how all of this was filmed. This channel really is special, I really hope it can grow bigger with time so we get even more quality content like this one. ♥
@terramater4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your nice comment! :) Yes, it's really ineffective, but they need this lifecycle because figs & wasps depend on each other to reproduce. Just as the fig wasp depends on the fig tree to complete its life cycle, the fig tree is counting on the wasp. Like most plants that reproduce using fruit, the fig tree’s fruit ripen only after its flowers are pollinated with a grain of pollen from another tree. It turns out that the wasps bring the pollen that triggers the growth of fig fruits. The mother wasp carries pollen from the flowers in her birth fig to the flowers in the new fig. Her daughters repeat the cycle, when they carry pollen from their birth fig to the flowers in their next figs.

@@terramater : Yes, exactly.. But the sisters fly to the female figs when they walk, the female figs lose their wings. Dan can't get out. Die... So if everyone dies in the same season, what happens next year?? 🤫🤔 - WHAT COULD NOT HELP ME.. :( 😪

The mother wasps enter the figs and loose their wings, then lay their eggs and die. Then the eggs develop and the males hatch, they inseminate their sisters that are still in the eggs and then make holes in the fig, then they die. The sisters hatch and leave the fig and fly to next fig tree that is ready to receive them. and then the whole cycle starts again.

Incredibly interesting but do they only breed with siblings?? Is there no way to renew the bloodline with new genes?

I have two fig trees. The main bug I find in them are tiny ants. They are all over the tree and go in and out of the figs
