Detailed explanation-1: -Forensic entomology is the study of insects/arthropods in criminal investigation. Right from the early stages insects are attracted to the decomposing body and may lay eggs in it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The collection and investigation of (mainly) flies and beetles that feed on corpses have become an important forensic tool in criminal proceedings. Forensic entomology’s main application is to determine the time interval between corpse discovery and death.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Forensic entomologists use two main methods to evaluate approximate time of death in, one method looks at what type of insects are on and in the decomposing body and the other uses the life stages and life cycles of certain insects to establish how long a body has been dead.
