There are many kinds of gusano de maguey (Agave Worms), but usually only the Chinicuil Gusano is eaten. This “red worm.” is highly prized and expensive . They are actually not worms at all, but the larvae of the moth Comadia redtenbacheri. They're nutritious and considered a delicacy.

I would still rather put meat on it.

Have you ever eaten bugs or worms?

Probably not. Even if I have, it was not intentional. I am not planning to eat bugs and worms in the future either.
