What is the Relationship of yucca plant and yucca moth?

In Joshua Tree National Park, the yucca moth (Tegeticula paradoxa) visits the Joshua tree blossom at night, rolls the pollen into a ball, flies to another flower, and ascends the pistil to force the pollen ball into the tubular stigma. Using her ovipositor, the moth then lays 4-5 eggs within the flower's ovary walls. Her young are therefore assured of a food supply after hatching. The larvae consume about half of the fruit. There is "no other known instance of an insect which sems to pollinate the flowers so deliberatley." A "shocking" 90% of the Joshua tree's flowers die before producing fruit. The relationship between the yucca moth and the Joshua tree is said to be one of "coevolved obligate mutualism;" a complete mutual dependence on each other.
