对生长在中国云南省西双版纳热带植物园的六种无花果小蜂进行了观察。确定了 Apocryptophagus testacea、Apocrypta sp2、Apocryptophagus mayri、Ceratosolen fusciceps 和 Apocrypta westwood 的产卵顺序。进行了一项实验，将每种非授粉黄蜂分别引入袋装无花果中，以防止其他物种产卵。这表明非传粉者 Apocryptophagus testacea 和 A. mayri 是雌花的觅食者（虫胆制造者），而其他物种是寄生蜂或寄生蜂。来自自然未授粉花序的额外证据表明，A. agraensis 很可能是传粉者 Ceratosolen fusciceps 的寄生蜂，而 Apocrypta westwood 和 Apocrypta sp。分别是 Apocryptophagus mayri 和 A. testacea 的寄生蜂。这些结果表明，栖息在总状无花果中的无花果黄蜂要么利用相同资源（雌花）的不同发育阶段，要么利用不同的食物资源。
Observations were made on six fig wasp species on Ficus racemosa growing in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanic Garden, Yunnan Province, China. The oviposition sequence was determined for Apocryptophagus testacea, Apocrypta sp2, Apocryptophagus mayri, Ceratosolen fusciceps and Apocrypta westwood. An experiment was carried out in which each species of non-pollinating wasp was separately introduced into bagged figs which prevented other species from ovipositing. This showed that the non-pollinators Apocryptophagus testacea and A. mayri are foragers (gall makers) of the female flowers, and that the other species were parasitoids or inquilines. Additional evidence from naturally unpollinated inflorescences suggested that A. agraensis is most likely a parasitoid of the pollinator, Ceratosolen fusciceps, and that Apocrypta westwood and Apocrypta sp. are the parasitoids of Apocryptophagus mayri and A. testacea, respectively. These results indicate that the fig wasps inhabiting F. racemosa figs either utilize different developmental stages of the same resources (female flowers) or utilize different food resources.
