The "yucca flower" is the state flower of New Mexico. Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family, Agavaceae. Its 40-50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers.
The Yucca Moth can only lay it's eggs in the yucca flowers, but it helps the yucca, fertilizing the flowers. The yucca needs the moth to spread pollen, and the moth needs the yucca for a place to lay it's eggs. This is mutualism.

The yucca moth lives on the yucca plant and does no travel to other flowers or plants. Adult moths live inside the flowers and the larval stages are all completed inside the yucca fruits as they develop.

The yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where both species benefit. The yucca moth pollinates the yucca flowers and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries. In return, the yucca moth larvae feed on the yucca seeds, ensuring their survival.
