Bibliography on Tegeticula sp., Yucca moth, Palomilla de la yuca

Tegeticula sp. is a genre of moths, which are of great interest due their coevolution with yucca. The yucca moth has developed an amazing mimicry with the yucca flower, in addition, has a symbiotic relationship, where the moth can deposit its eggs in the flower and ensure their offspring, while the flower is pollinated by the moth. Its research is interesting for scientists and students, and very useful to understand the coevolution between moths and plants.
