What is the difference between moth and a yucca moth?
The yucca moth is associated with the yucca, a flowering plant, mostly found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. When mature, yucca pollen grains form sticky masses, which pregnant female yucca moths collect with long appendages (called maxillary palpi) from their mouth region, form into balls, and transport. When ready to lay her eggs, she crawls into another flower, and lays her eggs inside of an ovary of the flower. She then climbs to the top of the ovary, and presses the pollen into the central stigmatic depression. In doing so, she ensures the pollination of the flower in which she has laid her egg. The germinating pollen grains fertilize hundreds of immature seeds inside of the plant, some of which will provide food for the larvae as it matures. Both the yucca plant and moth are dependent on this pollination regime for survival.
