The Life and Death of a Fig Wasp

&gt; <i>Her eggs grow inside the fig flower and hatch several days later. The newly hatched wasps mate with other wasps that were born in the same fig.</i><p>Wouldn&#x27;t this lead to and extremely shallow gene-pool? Or do figs tend to have multiple wasps in it?

What do they do during the winter? I have two fig trees in my yard that collectively product maybe 2000-3000 figs&#x2F;year. Half they year they aren&#x27;t flowering or developing fruit.
