Masked Hunter (nymph stage)

Found indoors in dark corners, basements, and around human habitations.

Predatory insect feeding on household pests like spiders, bed bugs, and carpet beetle larvae.

Nymphs secrete a sticky substance that covers them in dust and debris for camouflage. They are nocturnal hunters that lie in wait for prey.

Beneficial as a natural pest controller, but can deliver a painful defensive bite if handled or accidentally compressed.
