The arid desert also provides habitat for insects. Perhaps one of the most famous desert insects is the yucca moth. These tiny white moths pollinate the creamy-white yucca blossoms during the night. The female yucca moth collects a ball of pollen from one or more yucca flowers. She deposits her eggs in the ovary of a flower then puts the ball of pollen on the flower stigma, where it will fertilize the flower eggs. The moth larvae then feed on the developing seeds. A single yucca seedpod contains well over 100 seeds, and the moth larvae, usually only one or two per pod, eat relatively few seeds, sometimes fewer than a dozen each. While the yucca moth certainly benefits from this arrangement, the yucca itself also benefits, as most yuccas would remain un-pollinated and not bear fruit without the assistance of the moth.
