  • ALT2:... that the tapping sound of the deathwatch beetle has long been considered an omen of an impending death? SOURCE: [1] "...this species is associated with sleepless nights and the vigil kept beside the dying or the dead...The superstitious have even come to view the appearance or sound of a death-watch as the harbinger of impending doom!"
Template:Re You've done a great job with this. I have offered an ALT2 as I think the past tense is far better used to refer to the superstitious belief, rather than implying we still believe this as much today. In my experience of reading UK articles on this and other wood-boring pests, the word "tapping" is much more commonly used than "ticking". If you're ok with ALT2, I think we can say:
Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:05, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
