Oh, you’re thinking of wasps like yellowjackets. “Fig wasp” uses the taxonomic term for wasp. There are hundreds of thousands of parasitic wasp species out there that most people aren’t familiar with. Fig wasps are gall wasps and are really tiny! Like so small you can hardly see them by the naked eye. It is fascinating how so small beings can fly distances of many kilometers when they are only a millimeter in size.
I used to have some fig trees, I’d always have to be careful around them as they’d be full of wasps.
