Yucca species are the host plants for the caterpillars of the yucca giant-skipper (Megathymus yuccae), ursine giant-skipper (Megathymus ursus), and Strecker's giant-skipper (Megathymus streckeri).ried yucca leaves and trunk fibers have a low ignition temperature, making the plant desirable for use in starting fires via friction.
