Nitpick: if there's a worm in it, it's probably mezcal, not tequila (tequila is a protected regional name, much like champagne; it and mezcal are both distilled from fermented agave nectar). The bug is a larval form of an insect, so technically, it is a bug.
No one seems to know for sure why the tradition started. Theories abound, and are usually discussed in great detail over a bottle of mezcal.
