What US states have the fig wasp, besides Cali?

I am wondering which states besides California have the fig wasp.  I searched for awhile and only found that it was in the western US (but not specific states).  I am curious if the fig wasp can be found in neighboring states- Nevada, Pacific Northwest, etc. Can someone help?  Thanks.

UCDavis would have the answer to this for sure, I am curious to learn myself.

One website says only one other than California.


Too bad Florida is too wet to reliably ripen big figs like Zidi.  I also don't think the wasps really can handle Florida's humidity either.

I could be wrong on this but...Florida does have A ficus wasp, it pollinates the native ficus here but I don't think our ficus wasp will pollinate our cultivated figs.  At least that is what I thought I had read somewhere.

Not in my (Garden State) New Jersey.
