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: -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-3: -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-4: -Forensic anthropologists identify and examine human skeletal remains to gain insight into a crime. A forensic entomologist studies the development of insect life on a body to estimate the time of death taking into account environmental and other factors.
