Abstract

Small wasps, male and female, are hatched in a caprifig in closed cells. The male wasp gnaws out of his cell. He then gnaws a hole in the cell of the female and fertilizes her whom he has never seen. The female emerges from her cell and in leaving the fig to accomplish her mission in life she becomes covered with pollen. She enters the fruit fig attempting to lay her eggs, but the fruit fig is built so she cannot lay her eggs, but in exploring the fig she pollinates the fruit-producing fig. A young wasp lies dormant in a caprifig all winter, but hatches at the exact time to lay her eggs in the summer crop of caprifigs which is necessary to pollinate the fruit. This all requires exact timing which means God controls it.
