Masked Hunter (Nymph)

Typically found indoors in dry, dusty areas like basements, attics, and under furniture.

Predatory; it consumes other small arthropods including bed bugs, carpet beetles, and flies.

Nymphs use sticky secretions to cover their bodies with dust and debris for camouflage. They are nocturnal hunters.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling pests. While not aggressive, they can bite humans if handled, which can be painful but is not medically significant.
