fo-ren-sic: involving the application of scientific knowledge to legal matters. —Webster's New World Dictionary Forensic Entomology We live in a world populated by bacteria and insects. Although it seems that we spend a lot of effort in fighting them, they provide a useful service as natural rubbish recyclers. Think of that dark brown leaf mould or compost that you find in rainforests. Through decay all the chemicals used by living things are able to be re-used. Forensic pathologists and entomologists specialise in studying the rates of decay of human remains. By understanding the time and sequence of various stages as bacteria and insects attack the body, they can usually make an accurate estimate of the time since death. This period is called the post-mortem interval (PMI). In addition, many different species of insect attack a corpse at different stages of decay and even prefer different tissue types (such as a beetle which attacks bones). One species, the cheese skipper larva ( Piophila casei ), is found in dead creatures only after about 2 months has passed. Since some insect species are only found in certain geographical regions, climates or locations (eg swamp or desert), the police can work out if the body has been moved from another location.

What is Forensic Entomology? How diverse is forensic entomology? Here are a few examples: The diverse applications of forensic entomology include the detection of abuse in children and neglect of the elderly. Published cases exist that detail parents intentionally using wasps and bees to sting their children as a form of punishment. Additionally, entomological evidence has been used to prove neglect and lack of proper care for wounds existing on the elderly under both private and institutional care. It is theorized that the stings (or mere presence) of bees and wasps may be responsible for a large number of single occupant car accidents that seem to lack a definitive cause. In addition to automobile accidents, insects have been suspected of causing aircraft crashes through the obstruction of essential instrumentation, and even implicated in the obstruction of fuel lines causing engine failure. Forensic entomologists are also requested to examine the fragmented remains of insects that have impacted and lodged on the front fascia, windshield, and radiator of automobiles. Analysis of such remains can yield evidence to the probable path of an automobile through particular areas when pinpointing the location and areas of travel are of unique importance.

Laying the Cards Down Forensic investigation is hardly an unknown field to the insurance industry. However, an area that seems to garner little attention in claim investigation procedures is forensic entomology - which could save insurers and insureds millions of dollars. Bug investigations? You have to be kidding. But, as the following case study reveals, insects can reveal many secrets in the process of claims investigation. Introduction There is a suspicious death: human remains are discovered on the edge of a wood bordering a meadow. A municipal crew came across the corpse while collecting garbage. Police observed fly larvae (maggots) associated with the decomposing remains. The forensic identifier at the scene telephones me. I arrive at the police command post and before anyone can comment, I say "no thanks, I don't want to know when you think he died". I need to remain objective in my findings. Following the forensic identification people to the body, we move along the "path of contamination" which is the route police use to minimize chances of trampling evidence at the scene (this is the approach least likely to have been taken by the perpetrator). The body is an adult male lying face down, head through the bottom of rusted wire fencing and shrubbery.

About Forensic Entomology l Home l About Forensic Entomology l Guidelines l Services l Published Articles l Urban Entomology l Contact Us l Forensic entomology is legal application of the science of entomology. Entomology is the study of insects, often includ ing spiders an d other arthropods. Forensics encompasses both civil and criminal areas of law. Photographs: Bluebottle blow fly (top left) courtesy of John Mitchell (see Urban Entomology page), working in the lab (below), Silpha sp. carrion beetle (bottom left), Mediterranean flour moth ( Anagasta kuehniella ), bottom right). In certain cases of suspicious death,the length of time that insects have colonised remains is useful to police investigations in helping to determine time of death. It is the mandate of the Provincial Coroners Office to determine time of death but, through pathology, they are unable to scientifically estimate beyond a certain postmortem period. In such cases, insects may become evidence and assist in determining time of death. This is based on the length of time that certain insect species, often species of blow fly, have colonised the remains. Blow flies are the insects of primary significance because the time they begin to colonise remains is often approximately consistent with the time of death. The forensic application of entomology has a long, although sporadic written history reaching back to 13

58. Forensic Entomology Using insect life cycles to determine time of human death. http://www.saintjoe.edu/academics/biology/forensics.html

Department of Biology Forensics refers to the determination of the cause, location and time of death. Entomology is the study of insects. Forensic Entomology uses insects to help law enforcement determine the cause, location and time of death of a human being. Insect life cycles act as precise clocks which begin within minutes of death. They can be used to closely determine the time of death when other methods are useless. They can also show if a body has been moved after death. For more on Dr. Haskell, click here For more information on Forensic Entomology, click here. The following description of Forensic Entomology at Saint Joseph's College was written by Megan Taylor, a graduate of Saint Joseph's College and former student of Dr. Haskell . She has participated in his research and also attended National Conferences of Forensic Scientists. The picture on the left shows her collecting insect specimens from a poached deer carcass on Dr. Haskell's farm. Dr. Haskell uses poached animals from law enforcement agents or pigs obtained from Purdue University. Pigs are normally used for experimentation because insects colonize them in the same way they would colonize a human body.

Knowing all the possible ways to correctly determine the time of death can be critical to the success of any death investigation. The accuracy of this determination can make it possible to identify and eliminate suspects in a homicide, help determine cause and manner of death, and establish patterns of inheritance. All told, it is one of the most valuable and essential of all forensic tools. Unfortunately, determination of time of death is the nemesis of many death investigators. This course describes methods that can be used at any stage of the decomposition process, ranging from those who have been dead for minutes, to those dead for days, months, years, and even centuries. In addition, it provides an overview of the many types of forensic experts available to assist in the time and location of death determination. With each lesson, students will follow the investigation of actual cases, answering a series of questions on each.
