While visiting Lalocura in Santa Catarina Minas, his explanation is that the gusano must float. As to why the worm must float was missed due to my poor Spanish and I believe it is a quality of how the worms are properly prepared or cooked to compliment the mezcal. He says those at the bottom are a gimic that are just plopped in.
