The Yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where the moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries. This relationship benefits both species as the plant receives pollination while the moth's larvae feed on some of the plant's seeds. However, this relationship can also have disadvantages, such as potential damage to the plant's seeds and the possibility of the moth overpopulating and harming the plant population.
Good question.The Gypsy Moth was a type of moth that is common to England. The de Havilland DH 60 was first called simply as a "Moth". Maybe it was named this because its wings could be folded alongside the fuselage.In 1928 when the new de Havilland Gipsy I engine was installed did the airplane become the "Gypsy Moth".Actually, the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, has never been a common moth in England. It isn't clear to me if this question is about the moth or the airplane...
