Save the Skeeters is a not-for-profit educational and advocacy organization founded to destigmatize the reputation of native California mosquitoes. The organization has worked tirelessly since early 2024 to raise awareness about the important ecological niche occupied by California’s native mosquito species, the critical role mosquitos play in California’s food chain, including as prey for numerous rare, threatened, and endangered species of birds and bats, and the economic benefits, including critical pollination services, served by California’s native mosquitos.
