Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -The forensic entomologist can provide invaluable aid in death cases where human remains are colonized by insects and in the overall investigation. His principal role is to identify the arthropods associated with such cases and to analyze entomological data for interpreting insect evidence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Forensic entomologists are experts in the fields of criminal justice and science who, using their knowledge of how insects aid in bodily decomposition, can determine the time and source of death. Representing a unique niche of forensic science, entomologists are often likened to forensic biologists.
