NO, the "worm" burrows into the cactus causing it to swell in reaction. after the cactus is harvested and processed and eventually made into tequila SOME manufacturers add one of these larva, not really a worm, to the bottle. Not sure if the larve from the actual cacti make it into the bottle, probably they are raised apart, exclusively for the bottles.
