The yucca moth lays its eggs in the developing seed pods after pollinating the flowers, ensuring food for its larvae and pollination for the plant.

Gardeners noticed that yucca borers were tunneling into the stems of several plants.

A yucca borer tunneled into the stem of the desert plant overnight, leaving a telltale pile of frass.

I drove through Yucca Valley last summer and was amazed by the desert wildflowers.

Researchers isolated yuccaloeside from the desert plant and identified it as a potent steroid glycoside.
