Masked Hunter Nymph

Commonly found in and around human dwellings, basements, and structures where dust and small insects are present.

Carnivorous; feeds on other small arthropods like bed bugs, lace bugs, termites, and flies.

As nymphs, they cover their bodies with dust, lint, and sand to camouflage themselves from both prey and predators. They are primarily nocturnal hunters.

Beneficial to ecosystems and homeowners as they act as natural pest control. However, they can deliver a painful bite to humans if handled or provoked, though they are not medically significant.
