berguna untuk diketahui

Fakta

Nymphs build two layers of camouflage on their bodies, an inner layer of fine particles and an outer layer of coarser ones, using their hind legs and a tarsal fan.1

Their sticky body coat catches dust, lint and other small particles, which hides them from both predators and prey.1

Because they hunt bed bugs, a masked hunter in the home can be a sign of a bed bug problem, and controlling the bed bugs usually deals with the hunters too.1

Masked hunters were probably introduced to North America by accident in the late 1800s to early 1900s. They were first found in Canada in 1905 and in the United States in 1917.1

Pemecah mitos

Mitos: Masked hunters are kissing bugs and carry Chagas disease.

Hakikat: Masked hunters are sometimes mistaken for kissing bugs, but they do not carry Chagas disease. Their stab is painful, but it does not spread that disease.1
