The Yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where the moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries. This relationship benefits both species as the plant receives pollination while the moth's larvae feed on some of the plant's seeds. However, this relationship can also have disadvantages, such as potential damage to the plant's seeds and the possibility of the moth overpopulating and harming the plant population.

What animal is a symbiotic relationship to a yucca?

It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
