Masked Hunter Nymph

Typically found indoors in dry areas like basements, attics, or behind furniture; also found outdoors in hollow trees.

Carnivorous predator that eats small arthropods including bed bugs, carpet beetles, termites, and earwigs.

Nymphs practice camouflage by coating their bodies with dust and debris to hide from predators and prey. They are nocturnal hunters.

Beneficial as they hunt household pests like bed bugs; however, they can deliver a painful (though not medically significant) bite if handled or provoked.
