The masked larva - Reduvius personatus
Why masked?
This bug is particularly "dirty". To create their camouflage, masked reduva larvae secrete an oily, sticky substance (a secretion from their integument), which traps dust and other debris. The larva loses this camouflage during moulting, but replenishes it by covering itself by covering itself in dust with its hind legs.
