No, mezcal is not a type of tequila. Mezcal and tequila are both distilled Alcoholic Beverages made from the agave plant, but they come from different regions in Mexico and have distinct production methods, resulting in different flavors and characteristics.
I have not tried mezcal or tequila with the worm.
The worm in tequila is actually a larva from the agave plant, called a "mezcal worm." It is sometimes added to bottles of mezcal, not tequila, as a marketing gimmick. The worm is said to enhance the flavor of the drink, but it is not a traditional or necessary ingredient in either tequila or mezcal.
No, I have not tried a mezcal tequila made with a worm inside the bottle.
The kind of tequila that typically has a worm in it is mezcal, not tequila. The worm is actually a larva that is sometimes added to certain bottles of mezcal as a marketing gimmick.
No, there is no truth to the myth that there are worms in tequila. The worm is actually found in some bottles of mezcal, a different type of Mexican spirit. The worm is added as a marketing gimmick and has no traditional or authentic significance in either tequila or mezcal production.
Yes, the worm in tequila is real. It is typically a larvae of the moth Hypopta agavis that is sometimes added to bottles of mezcal, a type of tequila, as a marketing gimmick.

There are a few but the most common is mezcal. It is a spirit distilled from the beer, or mash, made from the hearts of agaves. There are 3 basic types of mezcal; reposado, anejo, and white(or dorado[golden]). White and dorado mezcals are not aged but distilled and bottled, the golden is just colored white mezcal. Reposado is aged in clay pots or barrels for 2 to 9 months to gain color and flavor. Anejo is aged at least 18 months often in wooden barrels and is more like a whiskey. Mezcal can be made from any of a few different maguey agaves, [there are about 120 species] with other possible ingredients comprising up to 40% of the product. Tequila mezcal is made strictly within guidelines set by the government and within the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and selected parts of bordering states, only blue agave is used in making tequila. No worm is added to tequila, only mezcal might have the worm added. Pulque is another beverage made from maguey, it is not used in the production of mezcal, it is recognized as a separate beverage. Tequila is a mezcal - mezcal is not tequila.
