Conservation status. None of the many quetzal species are under immediate threat in the wild, although the eared and resplendent quetzal are at the Near Threatened status. The remaining are not considered threatened by the IUCN and all are locally common.
Mezcal is widely known for the agave âwormâ (or gusano) that floats toward the bottom of the bottle. It is primarily a marketing gimmick to help boost sales, especially in the United States and in Asia. In fact, it is not a âwormâ at all, but one of two insect larvae (a caterpillar of a night butterfly or the larvae of the agave snout weevil) that can infest yucca and agave plants. Tequila never (ever!) has a worm in the bottle. Now that a few things are cleared up, you can now explain the differences between mezcal and tequila to anyone who is befuddled by the two. If you still are baffled, just try them! The unparalleled flavors will definitely speak for themselves.
