HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The first species of Coleoptera arrive during the bloat stage of decomposition, including members of the families Staphylinidae (rove beetles), Silphidae (carrion beetles) and Cleridae. These beetles are observed feeding on fly eggs and larvae.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first type of insect to arrive at a dead body is usually a blowfly (Calliphoridae), attracted by body fluids and gases. It lays its eggs within two days after death, so its stage of development-egg, larval stages, prepupal or pupal stage, adulthood-will suggest how long the corpse has been lying undetected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Putrefaction involves the action of bacteria on the tissues of the body. This process, prevalent in moist climates, is associated with green discoloration of the body; gas production with associated bloating; skin slippage; and a foul odor.

Detailed explanation-4: -It begins with a female blowfly laying eggs in a cadaver or wound. After three larval stages, the blowflies are known as pupa. Pupa live outside of the cadaver and in soil. The sixth and final stage ends with adult blowflies.
