        Forensic Entomology
          "...Human corpses, whether they have been produced naturally or as the result of foul play, are processed by insect decomposers in the same manner as any other piece of carrion. Forensic entomology, therefore, is based on the analysis of the insects and other invertebrates which sequentially colonize a corpse as decomposition progresses and on the rates at which the various stages of their offspring develop. Entomological information can be extremely useful in determining manner of death, movement of the corpse from one site to another, and length of the postmortem interval..."

          "...is the science of using insect evidence to uncover circumstances of interest to the law, often related to a crime...."
          "...As presently practiced, medicocriminal entomology deals mainly with inferences made after examination and identification of arthropods collected from or near corpses. Forensically significant conclusions often can be drawn by noting the state of successive colonization of a corpse by local arthropod fauna, or by identifying the developmental stage of necrophilous (deadflesh eating) insects collected in, on, or near the body..."
