    Figs technically do - the female fig wasp enters a fig to lay eggs, dying in the process. A few weeks later the newborn male wasps then fertilise the female wasps and dig tunnels to help the females escape. However the leftover wasps get broken down by enzymes in the fig regardless.

    Not all commercially grown figs are pollinated in this way though from what I understand.
