''Reduvius personatus'' or the masked hunter is an insect, belonging to the assassin bug (Reduviidae) family. The name refers to the fact that its nymph camouflages itself with dust. The masked hunter is a predator of small arthropods, including woodlice, lacewings, earwigs, and bed bugs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://bugguide.net/node/view/11385 )〕 Although they do not feed on human blood, masked hunters can bite humans in self-defence when mishandled. The bite can be extremely painful, but masked hunters do not transmit any diseases and medical attention is rarely needed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardandgarden/ygbriefs/e608maskedhunter.html )〕 == Identification == Adult masked hunters (''Reduvius personatus'') are uniformly dark brown to black in colour and vary in length from 17–22 mm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.uoguelph.ca/pdc/Factsheets/Insect/AssassinBug.htm )〕 They have an elongated head that includes a short, three-segmented beak as well as long slender antennae.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2082.html )〕 Their abdomen is wide, extending in the middle beyond the wings to reveal the lateral margins of their abdominal segments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://entnemdept.ifas.ufl.edu/choate/Florida_reduviidae.pdf )〕 Nymphs of this species resemble the adult form and are naturally dark-coloured, but often appear grey or light-coloured due to a camouflage layer of debris covering them.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.extension.umn.edu/projects/yardandgarden/ygbriefs/e608maskedhunter.html )〕 Nymphs exude a sticky substance that covers their entire body, including the antennae and all six legs, which causes dust, lint, and other small particles to adhere to the surface of their body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2082.html )〕
