Woman opens up fig to find disgusting surprise

If you frequently eat figs, you may never want to eat one again after seeing this video.

Youtube user Ananda Lewis heard from a friend that wasps lay eggs in figs, and wanted to test out the theory for herself.

She took a fig right from a tree in her backyard, and opened it up. She was horrified to find that the "rumor" was true. She showed the fig to the camera and said that what was moving wasn't the fig glistening; it was wasp larvae.

"It's not nasty," Lewis said, "it's natural and it's lovely." Despite this, she vowed to never eat figs again.

"They are not a fluke," she continued. "This is how wasps pollinate figs."

In addition to finding larvae, she found a dead wasp body.

According to HowStuffWorks, Lewis is right: most commercially grown figs are pollinated by wasps, and they often have at least one female wasp inside.

The video went viral, garnering over one million views.
