Prodoxus quinquepunctellus
Prodoxus quinquepunctellus, commonly referred to as the five-spotted bogus yucca moth, is a moth of the family Prodoxidae. It is found from southern Alberta, Canada, to the Mexican Plateau of northern Mexico. The habitat consists of desert, grassland, openings in pine or deciduous forests and coastal chaparral and dunes.

Discovered in 1875 by American entomologist V.T. Chambers, the five-spotted bogus yucca moth was given the genus Prodoxus to differentiate it from Tegeticula yuccasella, also known as the yucca moth. They were initially thought to be the same species, but were later differentiated due to behavioral and physical distinctions.

The five-spotted bogus yucca moth is currently classified as endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in April 2006. The status of the moth was reassessed in May 2013, but no changes were made.

The wingspan of the moth is roughly 12–23 mm.

Dovetail joint
A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joinery technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery (carpentry), including furniture, cabinets, log buildings, and traditional timber framing. Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart, also known as tensile strength, the dovetail joint is commonly used to join the sides of a drawer to the front. A series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of 'tails' cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.

Ultimate tensile strength
Ultimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or  in notation) is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials, the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials, the ultimate tensile strength can be higher.

The ultimate tensile strength is usually found by performing a tensile test and recording the engineering stress versus strain. The highest point of the stress–strain curve is the ultimate tensile strength and has units of stress. The equivalent point for the case of compression, instead of tension, is called the compressive strength.

Tensile strengths are rarely of any consequence in the design of ductile members, but they are important with brittle members. They are tabulated for common materials such as alloys, composite materials, ceramics, plastics, and wood.
