Masked Hunter Nymph (Dust Bug)

Often found indoors in dusty corners, attics, and basements; outdoors in woody areas or crevices.

Carnivorous predator that feeds on small arthropods like bed bugs, silverfish, spiders, and flies.

Nymphs cover themselves in dust, lint, and sand to camouflage themselves as 'dust bunnies' for ambush hunting. They move slowly but strike quickly.

Benefits: Effective natural pest control against household pests like bed bugs. Risks: Can deliver a painful bite if handled or threatened, comparable to a bee sting, but generally not dangerous to humans.
