Every year my fig tree produces lots of delicious figs. I love cutting them open to see the shocking red-purple, raspberry-jam flavored fruit inside. The stickiness of the fruit and the crunchiness of the seeds is a heavenly combination.
Figeater beetles come to feast on the fruit of my fig tree every year. I never bother them, because they are gorgeous and they eat only a small fraction of the tree's seasonal harvest. I like the loud droning sound they make when they fly, too.
Besides, these creatures have been eating figs longer than human beings have been on earth and they don't understand our rules of property ownership. Really, they are sharing the figs with me, not the other way around.
