Article is missing some relevant information.

1. Enzymes in the fig digest wasp parts so you don't normally find wasps inside your figs. So they really are vegan.

2. The males are flightless and wouldn't have escaped anyway. The females only escape long enough to go lay their eggs in another fig. So it really isn't that dramatic.
