Masked Hunter

Reduvius personatus

Masked Hunter

Adult masked hunters occupy dry houses, outbuildings, tree hollows, and other sheltered sites across much of Europe and introduced regions. They hunt insects at night, piercing prey with a strong beak and digestive saliva. Adults are winged, though they usually stalk surfaces and hide in cracks during the day.
