Online Highways Home > New Mexico > Tarantula Hawk Wasp The New Mexico State Insect New Mexicos state insect was adopted due to the efforts of a sixth grade class at Edgewood Elementary School. Mrs. Ruth Bradford helped the students research various insects, and then they presented three candidates to schools across the state. The tarantula hawk wasp emerged the winner. This insect is one of many species of Pompilids. These are wasps that build nests in the ground and stock them with spiders. See more Wildlife Viewing. Other upcoming events include:
