Masked Hunter Nymph

Found indoors in houses, barns, and storage sheds, as well as outdoors in trees and shrubs.

Carnivorous; feeds on lace bugs, bed bugs, termites, and other small arthropods.

Nymphs practice camouflaging by covering their bodies with dust and lint using specialized hairs, allowing them to ambush prey.

Beneficial predator of indoor pests like bed bugs; however, they can deliver a painful (but not medically significant) bite if handled.
