HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Blow flies and flesh flies are the most useful crime scene insects for determining the postmortem interval, or time of death. Through laboratory studies, scientists have established the developmental rates of necrophagous species, based on constant temperatures in a laboratory environment.

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: -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-5: -Forensic entomology is the science of collecting and analyzing insect evidence that can help approximate how much time has passed between when a person died and when their body was discovered. This period of time is referred to as the post-mortem interval or PMI.
