Another study takes a look at coevolution as a primary driver of change and diversification in the yucca moth and the Joshua tree, more commonly known as the yucca palm. The researchers tested this hypothesis by setting up a differential selection of two species of yucca moths and two corresponding species of yucca palms which they pollinate.
The moth lives in sand dunes, forests (pine, pinyon, oak), glades, grassland, desert, and forests from the East Coast to the Southwest. [1] Yucca moths have developed a strong mutualism with the yucca plant, such that both depend on each other for survival. [2] The yucca moths and yucca plants have coevolved over millions of years.

A cocoon is a casing spun of silk by many moth caterpillars, and numerous other holometabolous insect larvae as a protective covering for the pupa. Most Lepidoptera larvae will either make a cocoon and pupate inside them or will pupate in a cell under the ground, [ 21 ] with the exception of butterflies and advanced moths such as noctuids ...
More specifically, they are also called jewel caterpillars due to the colorful bead-like gelatinous mass covering the exoskeleton of many species. Female Dalceridae have "accessory glands" that apply a rapidly drying liquid to the eggs. [ 1 ]
