Deathwatch Beetles

“Other species, which also bore into timber in their larva state, are well known by the name of Death-watch - Anobium - from their habit of knocking with their jaws against the wood-work upon which they are standing, this being the call of the insect to its mate.” — Goodrich, 1859
