Fig wasp
Ceratosolen fusciceps
NE
The Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens, Chiang Mai, Thailand
The fig wasps featured here are Ceratosolen fusciceps, which pollinates the fig Ficus racemosa. This is specified in a film produced as part of Dominique Vassie's MSc thesis uses footage from the filmmakers, filmed in the Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens, as detailed on figweb.com [1]: "The second episode of the BBC TV natural history series Perfect Planet included a short segment covering interactions between some Asian fig wasps and their host figs [...] with thanks to the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden". In the film, two figs (F. racemosa and F. hispida) and their two pollinators (C. fusciceps and C. solmsi) are featured, but essentailly every shot that made it into the final cut in the episode shows C. fusciceps, with the adult females distinguished from C. solmsi by their longer ovipositors and the larval males distinguished by their darker orange heads. The film is a great watch, going into far more detail about the extraordinary story of how these wasps pollinate figs, such as how female wasps eject the remaining liquid in their bodies in order to enter the narrow opening on the fig's skin, or how parasitic nematode worms inside the fig attempt to latch onto newly hatched females as they attempt to burrow out.
