Insect evidence may also show that the body has been moved to a second site after death, or that the body has been disturbed at some time, either by animals, or by the killer returning to the scene of the crime. However, the primary purpose of forensic entomology today is to determine elapsed time since death. Forensic entomology was first reported to have been used in 13th Century China and was used sporadically in the 19th Century and the early part of the 20th Century, playing a part in some very major cases. However, in the last 15 years, forensic entomology has become more and more common in police investigations. Most cases that involve a forensic entomologist are 72 h or more old, as up until this time, other forensic methods are equally or more accurate than the insect evidence. However, after three days, insect evidence is often the most accurate and sometimes the only method of determining elapsed time since death.

Forensic Science Resources Forensic Entomology definition links bibliography Forensic Entomology is the application of the study of insects and other arthropods to legal issues. It can be divided in three subfields: urban, stored-product and medicolegal. Medicolegal Entomology is the science of using insect evidence to uncover circumstances of interest to the law, often related to a crime. The time of death, for example, can usually be determined using insect evidence gathered from and around a corpse, provided the evidence is properly collected, preserved and analyzed by an appropriately educated forensic entomologist.

Main Newsletter Resources Calendar ... Education Young Forensic Scientists Forum Newsletter - July 2000 Entomology Uncovered (Why I Chose to Dig Around in Dead, Decomposing Humans to Collect Nasty Maggots) by Wendy Platt, Purdue University Graduate Student In Memory of Dr. Lamar Meeks Recently my former high school published an alumni directory. It listed the whos, whats, whens, and wheres of everyone they could find who had graduated from the school. Beside my name it says "PhD Student." Not very descriptive. If it listed what I really do, most of the people who went to high school with me would be utterly amazed, possibly even repulsed. You see, I came to the discipline of forensic entomology by what you might call a rather indirect route. It all started when I naively believed what the college recruiters were telling me. Engineering was supposed to be the place to be. So, off I went to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to enter the Nuclear Engineering program. Summer 1996 arrived and I needed a job. I only had one more semester left to finish my degree, so I began interviewing with agricultural chemical companies for summer work in the hopes that it would lead to a more permanent position after graduation. DowElanco (now DowAgrosciences) hired me to work with a Field Research Entomologist by the name of Barbara Nead. The insect deities had stepped in and put me on a path that I had never imagined possible.

Crime Scene Investigation Books Forensic Entomology Forensic Entomology: The Utility of Arthropods in Legal Investigations by Jason H. Byrd (Editor), James L. Castner (Editor) (September 26, 2000) Insects and other anthropods found at a death scene can provide corroborating evidence regarding both the time and place of death as well as possible antimortem and postmortem treatment of the victim. Nevertheless, most forensic investigators are not specially trained in entomology, and until now, no entomology reference has fully explored these subjects. Forensic Entomology: The Utility of Anthropods in Legal Investigations usurps this void, instructing even individuals without a background in entomology on what to search for when recovering entomological evidence at a crime scene.

34. Gordon's Forensic Entomology Page An introduction to the science of forensic entomology. http://www.earthlife.net/insects/forensic.html

Forensic Entomology Forensic entomology is the use of insects and our knowledge of their life cycles to assist in investigations into crimes, normally those involving death of a human being though it has been used to reinstate an unfairly sacked worker and in investigations into drug trafficking. As such it inevitably involves looking at a lot of dead, sometimes long dead, bodies. As well as acquiring an in-depth knowledge of the life cycles and interactions between the insects and other arthropods that are attracted to dead bodies. Generally the most important contribution to an investigation be a Forensic Entomologist is to accurately determine the post-mortem interval, i.e. the time between when the person died and when the body was found, or when the Forensic Entomologist arrived on the scene. Forensic entomology works because the species of flies and beetles and other arthropods involved are attracted to a dead body at relatively specific times after its death. These times relate to the state of decomposition and are therefore related to not only time of death but also the environmental parametres in force at the time. Also these insects come to the corpse to lay eggs, these eggs develop into larvae which have life cycles involving several instars and a pupae all with predictable growth rates for known temperatures. Because we are dealing with real living things here there is a certain amount of variability but given several species to cross check with and with accurate knowledge of the temperature ranges and humidity effecting the area around the corpse surprisingly accurate (often to within one or two hours) estimates of the time of death can be made.

Aquatic Forensic Entomology - Dr. Rich Merritt Dr. Rich Merritt from Michigan State University is an aquatic entomologist that also does forensic entomology. What exactly is the field of forensic entomology all about? Elementary, my dear science majors! The following information is from an email exchange we had with Dr. Merritt about this fascinating field! When did you first become interested in forensic entomology? Actually, one of the last courses I took as an undergrad was general entomology and I loved the course because I had a great instructor. I then went on to take another course in Medical Entomology and became interested in insects that transmit disease agents. During my undergraduate years I was interested in medicine so I drove an ambulance during the night and went to school during the day. I had a case one night in which an elderly woman’s leg had ulcerated in her house and fly larvae had infested both of her extremities. She was semi-comatose and had to have both legs amputated. Unfortunately, she died the next day during surgery. I collected and identified the flies at the scene and at the suggestion of my professor, I published an article on the situation. This was my first published paper in forensic entomology. I went on to graduate school with an interest in this field and worked on cases with the police during graduate school. What exactly does a forensic entomologist do?

Homepage Divisions Expertise News ... Visitors Book FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY – THE CONTRIBUTION OF ARC-PPRI TO CRIME PREVENTION IN SOUTH AFRICA In action in the field with the police Forensic entomology (FE) is the application of entomology to forensic science, especially in the investigation of criminal activities, including murder. FE is based on the principle of ecological succession, wherein different insects invade a decomposing body in a series of successive waves. By identifying the insects that comprise these waves (guilds) and by determining their stage of development, it is possible to calculate the time elapsed since death – the post-mortem interval (PMI). An analysis of the insects at a crime scene can also indicate possible causes of death and manipulation of the body prior to disposal. This investigative science is known as medico-legal forensic entomology. Entomology is well established as an integral aspect of medico-legal forensic science in many parts of the world, and is rapidly gaining recognition in South Africa. This has been achieved through support from the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology (DACST), as part of the Crime Prevention Strategy Innovation Fund. The original DACST grant was made to the ARC-Plant Protection Research Institute. The funding enabled Dr Mervyn Mansell, a specialist on Diptera at ARC-PPRI, in collaboration with Prof. T.C. van der Linde (University of the Orange Free State), to develop the science of forensic entomology in South Africa.

38. Entomology: In forensic entomology, the police make use of insects to solve crime mysteries. The Chinese were probably the pioneers in forensic entomology. http://www.chanco.unima.mw/biology/forensic_entomology.htm

Dylo Foster Pemba Entomology is the study of Insects it also includes their cousins with jointed legs like spiders, mites, Collembola that are not insects but closely resemble them. In agriculture that is where most of us know the insect better. Yes, the weevils in our granary, the army worm in our maize garden. In vegetable garden we find a diverse number of caterpillars damaging our vegetables. All the caterpillars you encounter are either young moth or butterflies. This area that looks at insects of agriculture importance is referred to as Agriculture entomology. Malawi needs not to ignore entomology especially being in the tropics where there area a lot insects. Forensic entomology: In an interesting recent case the absence of insects in a decomposing body, in a seemingly straightforward death scene, led to a killer's confession. In the murder room there was an open window when the body was found, the investigators’ first assumption was that the murderer had forced his way into the room through the window. It was the department’s forensic entomologist who pointed out that you couldn’t have a decomposing body without flies. This changed the whole course of the investigation. It was later discovered that the killer had a key, and had returned to "set the stage" by opening the window just prior to feigning discovery of the corpse. The insects thus had insufficient time to colonize the body because the window had been closed ever since the murder took place to the time of the false discovery. When confronted by this biological reality as pointed out by the forensic entomologist, the killer confessed.
