Masked Hunter (Nymph stage)

Commonly found inside homes, around window sills, and in dusty areas where prey is abundant

Predatory insect that eats small arthropods such as bed bugs, termites, lacewings, earwigs, and flies

Nymphs exhibit camouflage behavior by covering their bodies with sticky secretions that trap dust, lint, and debris to hide from both predators and prey

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