I read this today with great interest:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/zoology/insects-arachnids/fig-wasp2.htm
Anybody have any more scientific data on this? This seems pretty fantastic to me, in that it would be the first (to my knowledge) carnivorous "flower" identified, yes?
Would be a very happy coincidence, anyway, that I do happen to have a fig tree wintering in my CP greenhouse at this moment, with its early spring crop of wasp killing figs growing nicely.
Maybe if we can confirm this, we can move Figs to the Forum on other carnivorous/protocarnivorous plants .
