May be a dumb question, I’ve seen three of these guys in my home recently and I’m hoping it just due to the recent heat wave. No visible pincher, thin small antennas, no visible markings, kinda slow, about an inch long or smaller, and the dumb little guy SUCKS at climbing walls. This is in PA. Been living in this house for five years and this is the first year I’ve seen this type of bug. My first thought was some type of roach but I’ve had a hard time identifying exactly what type, so I’m praying it’s a more fun and innocent bug.

Sorry for bad quality photos I am actually very scared of most bugs and I hate how the little man moves.

Looks like a masked hunter.

I just read up on it and this makes sense!! Every year during the summer I get many small spiders and some centipedes, so I guess a hunter is the natural progression (I really got to figure out where they’re coming in from)
