Colloquially it's a worm, the problem is with the first name.

The worm actually enjoys a nice hot chocolate with two pink marshmallows?

Abby, you're so close!

The agave worm (caterpillar) is never placed in bottles of Tequila- only in bottles of Mescal.

Zealandia is a submerged continent underneath New Zealand, it was in the news a few weeks ago, its a little smaller than Australia. and apparently sank some 80 odd million years ago.

I'm assuming the same applies to Mauritia ??

We tend to be a little behind the times here in the U.S. for a country that considers itself "the greatest."

I think Gem's right; Yoda comes from an unknown world/species. (my son is a massive fan)

Many people know that household dust contains dead skin, animal fur, pollen, decomposed insects, and dirt from outside. However, it turns out that arsenic and lead also figure into the mix at higher levels than you might expect: high enough to pose a concern for small children who play on the floor.*

Question: what banned product also is a significant component of household dust decades after it was removed from production?

[Do not look at this source until after you guess: *(arsenic: 30% from natural sources, volcanoes principally; [70%] from mining, smelting, burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes. Even in relatively low concentrations, arsenic is not without risk, especially to small children who play on the floor and routinely transfer things from their hands to their mouths. The same is true for lead, which comes less from wall paint — the source most people would expect — than from auto exhaust, smelting and soil deposits.)

abestos?

edit: Nope, I'm wrong. I just read the source, that's very surprising.

Isn't fluoride good for teeth?
(Any parks and recs fans here? Season 6, episode 8. It's called "fluoride.")

Larry, I read the answer accidentally. So I'm out.

This question may be a bit too much. The answer is DDT
Rachel Carlson wrote Silent Spring about it in 1962 & the reception to her book forced the banning of DDT & other pesticides. DDT is supposed to have a half-life of 2-15 years, but it remains prevalent 45 years after it was banned in 1972.
