Detailed explanation-1: -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. Flies can arrive within minutes. They lay eggs that hatch to maggots. Maggots feed on soft, mushy body parts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Entomological evidence collection is the process of collecting evidence based on insect clues used in criminal investigations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The age of the oldest maggots provides the precise estimate of the post mortem interval. With advancement in technology, various new methods have been developed by scientists that allow the data to be used with confidence while estimating the time since death.
Detailed explanation-4: -The egg stage typically lasts a day or so. Larvae: The blowfly has three instars of larvae. The first instar is approximately 5 mm long after 1.8 days, the second instar is approximately 10 mm long after 2.5 days, the third instar is approximately 17 mm long after 4-5 days.
