Yes. Pretty much every moth species mom abandons her eggs, actually. They just need to be laid in a safe spot and be close to their host plant.

What is the relationship between a yucca flower and a yucca moth?

The Yucca plant gives the moth a place to lay her eggs, while the moth helps the plant reproduce. The moth brings pollen from other Yucca plants to the female portion of the plant. It then deposits the pollen into the plant. The moth also lays its eggs in the plant. Once the eggs hatch the lavae feed on the Yucca plants seeds that were formed by the pollen that the moth brought. Since both animals are benefiting from this relationship, it is called a Mutualistic association.


Why is there not much on the internet about moth behavior for example what is the behavior of a dying moth and a pregnant moth?

Female moths emerge from their cocoons with all their eggs fully formed in their abdomens, and the eggs are not fertilized until they are being laid (by male gametes stored in the female's spermatheca from mating). They keep laying eggs until they die in most cases. In other words, almost any female moth you find is a "pregnant moth", which is why there is no literature on behavior of pregnant moths.
