Create a quote-led post grounded only in Document 588's 'Ptinidae—Death-watch, etc.' section. Choose one short exact excerpt that captures the belief attached to the beetle's ticking, reproduce it faithfully, and then identify the creature and explain how Cowan presents the superstition. Make the distinction between recorded belief and biological truth explicit. Do not add a modern sound-production explanation unless supported by a separately linked source, and avoid horror-channel language.
