As a group, they are smallish and nondescript. The number of species associated with yucca is up in the air because, as Holland went on to predict, “ No doubt there are other species of Yucca which will be ultimately discovered to have species of Pronuba which are adapted in their organs to the work of pollination according to their peculiar requirements ”https://uwm.edu/field-station/wp-content/uploads/sites/380/2016/11/yucca-larva13-5rz.jpg
