The masked hunter is a dark brown to black insect from the assassin bug family. It hunts small creatures such as bed bugs, woodlice and termites, and it is often found in homes. Its nymphs hide by covering their bodies with dust and debris.1

Paano ito makikilala

Adults are uniformly dark brown to black and measure 17–22 mm in length.1
The head is elongated, with a short, three-segmented beak and long, slender antennae.1
The abdomen is wide and extends beyond the wings in the middle, showing the edges of its abdominal segments.1
Nymphs look like small adults but are often grey or light-coloured, because a sticky body coat collects dust, lint and small particles.1

Madalas mapagkamalang: Masked hunters are sometimes mistaken for the kissing bug. Unlike the kissing bug, masked hunters do not carry Chagas disease.1

Mga kagat

Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.

A handled or trapped masked hunter can deliver a rostral stab, which is painful and comparable to a bee's sting. The swelling can last for about a week. They do not feed on human blood.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

When handled or trapped, it defends itself by delivering a stab with its beak.1

Kung kumagat ito

Para sa nanunusok na balahibo ng higad: alisin ang mga ito gamit ang sticky tape, pagkatapos ay hugasan ang balat. Huwag kuskusin.
Para sa kagat: hugasan at palamigin. Kumuha ng tulong medikal kung masama ang pakiramdam ng tao o madali siyang dumugo.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact

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

Myth buster

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

Totoo: 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
