Trigger on Tasks

Here is a problem:

 

We need to be able to populate a date field on Opportunity every time a new task of specific record type is created and related to opportunity (and ONLY). 

 

Solution: create a trigger on insert. Here is where I am stuck, how to check if a task that is being created, relates to opportunity and not other object? 

 

Thank you.

Check the first 3 characters of parent id field.  If it's 006, this is a task on opportunity
