that also breed in the fig, but which play no role in the pollination process.
♀2.25mm+4mm
Non-pollinators fig wasp lay eggs through the fig skin early in fruit development.

"....Previously Ficus scaberrima was known as Ficus pisifera but was split by Berg (2005) into two species, Ficus scaberrima in which the figs are hairless and Ficus obscura in which the figs are very hairy. ..."

More about FIG WASPS of Ficus

The Two Reproduction types of Fig trees in Borneo:
There are 2 types of Fig trees in ways they reproduce:
1- Monoecious 雌雄同株 (having both male and female reproductive organs in the SAME plant.)
2- Dioecious雌雄異株 (having the male and female reproductive organs in SEPARATE plant.)

The Five Developing stages of a Dioecious Fig species with separate MALE and FEMALE trees:

MALE FIG	FEMALE FIG
MALE figs do not produce seeds for system. Male figs host development of pollinator wasps to pollinate FEMALE figs that produce seeds to continue the system.	But for some FEMALE fruits that do not support wasp development, the development stages is best classifies according ripening stages: FEMALE figs produce seeds to continue the system. Female figs do not support in developing the eggs into wasps.
1-Pre-receptive 2-Wasp-receptive 3-Wasp-developing 4-Wasp-emerging 5-Ripe	1-Pre-receptive 2-Pollinator Wasp-receptive 3-Seeds-developing 4-Seeds-hardening 5-Ripe

The Two Categories of Wasps that emerged from fig fruits:

1- POLLINATOR
2- NON-POLLINATOR

Pollinators and non-pollinating fig wasps breed in the fig, but non-pollinating wasps play no role in the pollination process.

Non-pollinators are pest wasps
From fig fruits’s perspective they are unwanted interlopers. In Borneo, more than one species of non-pollinating fig wasp can be associated with a particular fig tree species. For example Ficus septica 棱果榕 has two non-pollinating wasps.
Most of the non-pollinators lay eggs by inserting their ovipositor through the fig wall from the outside of the fig. These wasps often have extremely long “tails” (external ovipositors) the length of which has been evolutionarily determined by wall thickness of their host fig species.
