Ceratosolen solmsi explained

Ceratosolen solmsi is a species of fig wasps in the family Agaonidae. It has Ficus hispida as its host, where it is parasitized by the other fig wasp Apocrypta bakeri. Wasp larvae develop and hatch into mature wasps entirely within the body of the fig. Female wasps that develop in the center rather than the periphery of the fig have more mating opportunities, produce more offspring, and produce more female relative to male offspring.
