What are the 3 kinds of symboitic relationship?
The 3 types of symbiotic relationships (symbiosis) are: parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism.

In mutualism, both organisms living together benefit from the other in a cooperative relationship. In commensalism, the commensal benefits as the host is unaffected.
Is a moth a example of commensalism?
Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. For the most part, moths have a mutualistic relationship with their environment. An example would be moths laying their eggs inside of a flower - the flower has a chance to spread its pollen to other flowers and reproduce in that way, and the moth gets to lay its eggs. This is, however, on a case by case scenario, and the yucca baccata (a type of plant also known as the Spanish Dagger) "cheats" and allows the yucca moth larvae to die after pollination.
