Masked Hunter (Nymph stage)

Commonly found inside homes, barns, and other buildings; often hides in cracks, crevices, and under furniture.

Insects; they are predatory hunters of small arthropods including bed bugs, carpet beetles, and termites.

Nymphs are known for camouflaging themselves with dust, lint, and debris which sticks to their body via sticky secretions. They are nocturnal hunters that move slowly and use ambush tactics.

Beneficial as they hunt household pests like bed bugs. However, they can deliver a painful bite to humans if handled or provoked, though they do not transmit diseases.
