That's the male Ceratosolen solmsi done, this guy has no eyes! Next is a female Pleistodontes. Both male and female Agaonids are equally odd, so I'm featuring each from two different genera! *** Fixed!!! The hind coxae are bigger and more square ish in shape.***

Agaonids are so weird, but awesome! Pleistodontes sp. (Male on left, female on right).

The fig wasp story 😭😭 So when they are born inside the fruit, they see their dead mother body, then they heysho heysho with the boyboy (who is their brother?!), then the boyboy bite bite the fruit to let the girlgirl fly out, and the boyboy die, but the girlgirl fly out through a different hole anyways, and the girlgirl squeeze inside another fruit to lay eggs, then die inside the fruit 😱😱
