Perfect Camouflage
The white yucca flower is a perfect place for a white yucca moth to hide in the daytime. Indeed, the yucca moths are so secure inside the flowers that a researcher has to batter a flower considerably to encourage the moth to leave. The moths are so cued to fly into white flowers that they readily enter a small white insect net made from the scoop from lemonade mix--they see it as another flower! Like many other moths, they are not attracted at all to lights at night.
