'''Fig wasps''' are [[wasp]]s of the superfamily [[Chalcidoidea]] which spend their larval stage inside [[ficus|fig]]s. MostSome are [[pollinator]]s but others simply feed off the plant. The non-pollinators belong to several groups within the superfamily Chalcidoidea, while the pollinators are in the family [[Agaonidae]]. While pollinating fig wasps are [[gall]]-makers, the remaining types either make their own galls or usurp the galls of other fig wasps; reports of their being [[parasitoid]]s are considered dubious.<ref>Boucek, Z. 1988.
