House Memorial 26 requests that various state agencies in New Mexico participate in a workshop focused on insect identification, ecology, monitoring, and management. This initiative is sponsored by the Wild Friends program, the University of New Mexico Museum of Southwestern Biology, and the Xerces Society. The memorial emphasizes the ecological importance of insects, which play critical roles in pollination, waste decomposition, and maintaining soil health, while also addressing the public's misconceptions about insects as pests. The resolution highlights the need for state land management agencies to be knowledgeable about insects to make informed decisions regarding land management and wildlife.

Additionally, the memorial encourages these agencies to disseminate educational materials about insects, particularly those created by students involved in the Wild Friends program. The aim is to foster a better understanding of the value of insects and promote actions that protect them, such as avoiding harmful pesticides and planting native vegetation. The resolution underscores the importance of education in reducing fear and misinformation about insects, ultimately contributing to the conservation of these vital creatures and their habitats in New Mexico.
