Masked Hunter (Nymph stage)

Found in woodlands, parks, and inside buildings or homes, especially in dry, dark areas like basements or attics.

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

Nymphs exhibit 'camouflaging' behavior by covering their bodies with dust, lint, and debris to hide from predators. They are nocturnal hunters.

Beneficial as a natural pest control for indoor insects, but capable of delivering a very painful defensive bite to humans if handled.
