Masked Hunter (nymph stage)

Indoor environments, particularly dark and dusty corners, basements, and near baseboards.

Predatory insect that feeds on other household pests including bed bugs, carpet beetles, and spiders.

Nymphs secrete a sticky substance that collects dust and debris, creating a complete camouflage coating. They are nocturnal hunters that ambush prey.

Beneficial as a natural pest controller in homes, but can inflict a painful defensive bite if handled carelessly.
