Masked Hunter (Nymph)

Areas with high populations of small insects, including inside homes, barns, and warehouses.

Predaceous; feeds on small arthropods like bed bugs, carpet beetles, and termites.

Nymphs use sticky secretions to camouflage themselves with dust and debris to ambush prey. They are primarily nocturnal.

Benefits include natural pest control of bed bugs. Risks include a painful bite to humans if handled, though they do not transmit diseases.
