Masked Hunter (Nymph)

Commonly found inside homes, barns, and sheds in dry areas, often hiding in corners or under debris.

Carnivorous predator; feeds on various small arthropods like bed bugs, flies, termites, and woodlice.

Nymphs exhibit 'camouflaging' behavior by using sticky secretions to cover their bodies with dust, sand, and lint. They are nocturnal hunters.

Benefits the ecosystem and homeowners by acting as natural pest control. While not aggressive, they can deliver a painful bite to humans if handled or provoked; they do not transmit diseases.
