CONT

Blastophaga psenes L. ou blastophage, est un insecte parent des guêpes et des abeilles, un hyménoptère de la famille des Agaonides. Le figuier ne peut être pollinisé naturellement que par le blastophage et le blastophage ne peut reproduire en dehors des fructifications du figuier : aucun des deux n'existerait sans l'autre.
