maguey worm

The maguey worm, scientific name ''Aegiale hesperiaris'', (), is one of two varieties of edible caterpillars that infest maguey (''Agave americana'') and ''Agave tequilana'' plants.
The white maguey worms, known as ''meocuiles'', are caterpillars of a butterfly commonly named "tequila giant skipper," ''Aegiale hesperiaris''.
''Aegiale hesperiaris'' is found usually in regions of Central Mexico, on the leaves of Family Agavaceae plants, such as: ''Agave tequilana'' and ''Agave americana'' (maguey). They are not found on cacti, as is often erroneously reported. ''Aegiale hesperiaris'' butterflies deposit their eggs at the heart of the leaves of agaves. The larvae then eat the flesh of the agave stems and roots, sometimes boring out the agave completely.
==Others==
The red maguey worms are known as ''chilocuiles, chinicuiles'' or ''tecoles'', and are the larvae of the moth ''Hypopta agavis''. These infest the core and roots of the maguey plant, often in a glutenous mass. Along with agave snout weevil larvae (mezcal worm), red maguey worms are one of the types of ''gusanos'' found in bottles of mezcal liquor from the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
