Masked Hunter (Nymph stage)

Commonly found in dry, indoor environments such as homes, barns, and warehouses.

Exclusively predatory, feeding on other arthropods like bed bugs, lace bugs, and earwigs.

The nymphs cover their bodies with dust, lint, and sand for camouflage; they are nocturnal and move slowly to avoid detection.

Beneficial as they hunt household pests like bed bugs, but can deliver a very painful bite to humans if handled or threatened.
