At the end of every May, across the Midwest and Great Plains, yucca plants sprout a stalk of white flowers. Inside some of these flowers lurks a plain little white moth. These yucca plant and their yucca moths are the classic textbook example of "mutualism." And it was discovered over a century ago by a famous entomologist from Missouri.Many organisms live together in relationships where one depends upon the other. Some, relationships, such as the coyote and rabbit, represent "predators" that feed upon "prey." Corn rootworms, corn stem borers, and corn earworms are, of course, all dependent upon their host corn plant. Parasites such as ticks and tapeworms feed on the surface or inside their hosts. However, when two organisms have evolved a relationship where both benefit and neither is harmed, that is "mutualism."

This phenomenon is referred to as coevolution and is thought to be responsible for the mutualistic relationship between yucca plants and yucca moths (1). Yucca plants rely on yucca moths for pollination, while yucca moths use yucca flowers as a safe space to lay their eggs.
