I am in Ireland and the last few months I am hearing noises which sound strange. They are multiplying and now appear all around the roof throughout the day.
I googled it and the sound is pretty much identical to the sound the beetle makes.
Someone else on reddit mentioned it was very late for them?
And I am waiting on getting a ladder as people are away at the moment to pop up.
Also how long do the adults live for?
Thanks if you can
Instead of seeking to find the name of a bug in an image, I am doing the opposite and seeking images of a deathwatch beetle. I am working on a painting of a deathwatch beetle, and though I can google for resource photos, I thought it might be fun to see what the reddit bug enthusiast can turn up, or might have in their own collections.
Or if you do not have photos, then fun facts about the bug would be amusing as well. It is a literary themed painting, and I selected this bug because it has been known to eat its fair share of books. It has also been referenced in a few. Fascinating little creature from what I have read thus far.
it is 1:35 AM, and this happened seconds before i started writing this. I was scrolling reddit because i was bored, and i heard knocking, four light knocks each, two times, which sounded like the index finger knuckle, on first the wall that faces my backyard, and then my ceiling. Earlier, maybe a few weeks ago, i was laying in my bed, and heard some knocking in my house on an interior wall, one that faces my kitchen.
About a month ago, possibly unrelated to the knocking, i was playing around with a walkie-talkie, and i was using the “mon” function, which produces a static. when i was waving it around my house, it got super quiet in the middle of my living room. When i tried it later, it didnt happen.
Finally, around 3-4 months ago, i went out into the kitchen to grab some water in the middle of the night, and it was pitch black. i kept my hands out as i walked to my room, and the moment i landed on my bed, i heard a full fisted pounding on my door, as if somebody really wanted in, and couldn’t open it.
The house I live in was previously owned by an elderly man named Harold, and he unfortunately died before i was able to meet him. He might be behind this, or unrelated at all.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
It was about a weak back.
