Masked Hunter (Nymph stage)

Commonly found inside residential homes, specifically in dusty areas like basements, attics, and corners.

Carnivorous; feeds on small arthropods including bed bugs, carpet beetles, termites, and silverfish.

Nymphs exhibit a unique behavior of camouflaging themselves with dust, lint, and debris to hide from predators and stalk prey.

Beneficial to ecosystems and homeowners as they eat household pests; however, they can deliver a painful bite if handled or provoked.
