Detailed explanation-1: -FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY : THE USE OF INSECTS. Forensic (or medico-legal) entomology[1] is the study of the insects associated with a human corpse in an effort to determine elapsed time since death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insects arrive at a decomposing body in a particular order (succession) and then complete their life cycle based on the surrounding temperature. By collecting and studying the types of insects found on a body and their metamorphic stage, a forensic entomologist can estimate the time of death.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because flies rapidly discover a body and their development times are predictable under particular environmental conditions, the time of death can be calculated by counting back the days from the state of development of flies living on the corpse.
Detailed explanation-4: -The use of insects to estimate the postmortem interval requires an understanding of the insect’s life cycle, the relationship of the insect to the remains, and the relationship of the remains to the habitat in which they are discovered. Insects pass through a number of distinct stages during their life cycle.
