Masked hunter nymph

Commonly found inside homes, barns, or wooded areas, typically in dark, dusty corners or crevices.

Carnivorous predator that eats small arthropods such as bed bugs, termites, woodlice, and lacewings.

The nymphal stage covers its body with dust and lint (camouflage) to hide from predators and ambush prey; it moves with jerky, slow motions.

Highly beneficial for indoor pest control (especially bed bugs), but can deliver a painful, localized bite to humans if handled or threatened.
