The yucca moth and the yucca tree depend on each other. The moth helps the plant make seeds, and the plant is a home for the moth's offspring. The plant and the insect work together to survive.
Write a report about another plant and insect relationship. To do so, you will need to research insects and plants that depend on each other. Here are some questions to guide your research:

How do insects help plants?
In what ways do insects depend on plants to meet their needs?
Are you ready? Begin by visiting the Web sites listed in Step 2. Look for answers to the questions above, and write down what you learn in the note-taking boxes.
