... Tiny fig wasps reproduce inside unripe figs and can be seen if the fig is cut open at the right stage. These wasps and fig trees are "obligate mutualists," meaning that they cannot reproduce without each other. A parasite of the mutualism is seen in the inset, with a long ovipositor with which she l ...

Ficus rubiginosa
Ficus rubiginosa, the rusty fig, Port Jackson fig, or little-leaf fig (damun in the Sydney language) is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae that is native to eastern Australia. It is a banyan of the genus Ficus which contains around 750 species worldwide in warm climates, including the common fig (Ficus carica). Ficus rubiginosa can grow to 30 m (100 ft) high and nearly as wide with a buttressed trunk, and glossy green leaves.
