Septic Fig Hyperparasitic Wasp favorited by tomk3886 Kinabatangan, Sabah, Malaysia 8 minutes ago

Cutting open a Septic Fig fruit (Ficus septica), this tiny wasp pop out from inside. Only at 4mm and with more than half of its body is its ovipositor. This wasp use its long ovipositor to drill through the skin of the fruit to deposit the eggs inside. There are different kinds of fig wasps that inhabits figs and this one is not the beneficial pollinating fig wasp but rather it is a parasite. Possibly a Sycoryctes species, a hyperparasitoid which lay eggs on other parasitic fig wasp that produce galls inside the fruit.
