Masked Hunter (Nymph)

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

Predatory; feeds on other small arthropods including bed bugs, carpet beetles, and termites.

The nymphs cover their bodies with dust, lint, and sand (camouflaging) to remain hidden from both predators and prey. They are nocturnal hunters.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling pest populations like bed bugs. While not aggressive, they can deliver a painful bite to humans if handled or threatened.
