HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insects colonize humans differently than they colonize dead animals. Succession is not exclusive. DNA analysis is used to identify the type of insect on a corpse. Forensic entomology is based on estimating the length of tenure of insects on a body rather than the actual time of death.

Detailed explanation-4: -How can insects tell us time of death? 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.
