Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Forensic entomology is the study of arthropods, especially insects, associated with crimes and other aspects of the courts and judicial system. Forensic entomology usually involves the identification of insects and other arthropods associated with human remains as an aid to determining the time and place of death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Forensic entomologists do study and observe the natural habitats of the insects of different species. Depending on the habitat, they can understand where the crime has happened.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insects are drawn to the decomposing body right from the early stages, and can lay eggs in it. Forensic scientists may estimate the post-mortem index, any change in the location of the corpse as well as the cause of death by observing the insect population and the evolving larval stages.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus a branch of forensic science is forensic entomology, which is a study that deals with insects and arthropods in a criminal investigation.
