This is the first experimental analysis of the tapping behavior which is performed by both sexes of the wood-boring death-watch beetle (DWB) Xestobium rufovillosum De Geer (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). Although the pest status and control of DWB in Britain have been well documented (Hickin, 1963), with the first descriptions of the beetle dating from 1668 (Wilkins, 1668; Allen, 1698), our knowledge of its behavior remains basically anecdotal. The DWB life cycle is well known: larvae burrow into and… Expand
