  • @NeptunesOrca

    A comforting(?) fact about the figs is that although each ripe fig requires a fig wasp to die inside the fig for polination, the wasps are broken down by the fig, so you aren't actually eating any dead wasps when you eat figs.

    Maya would you ever discuss how weird interbreeding is? would love to hear you talk about it and it's effects on the illegal animal trade n stuff
