HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Egg – Stage 1 After fertilization, the female adult flies, lay their eggs in clusters. A female fly can lay up to 300 eggs in one day. The eggs can take from eight to 20 hours to hatch, after which they enter the larval stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the bloat stage the odor of putrefaction becomes noticeable. Blowflies remain present in great numbers during the bloat stage, and blowflies, flesh flies and muscids continue to lay eggs. Insects of the families Piophilidae and Fanniidae arrive during the bloat stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Many kinds of organisms live by feeding on dead bodies. The dominant groups of organisms involved in decomposition are bacteria, flies, beetles, mites and moths. Other animals, mainly parasitoid wasps, predatory beetles and predatory flies, feed on the animals that feed on the corpse.
