Home Guides Tool Kit Links ... About us Forensic Entomology Reference "Insects in court." Forensic entomology is the study of insects as they relate to the law. Usually, but not always, this means homicide investigations. Certain species of flies are strongly attracted to the odor of dead tissue. Eggs are laid and the resulting larvae (maggots) utilize and decompose the dead tissue. The sequence of events from egg deposition to complete fly development is temperature dependent and highly predictable for a given geographical area. A forensic entomologist can use the evidence of this sequence to work backward to deduce the time since death (post-mortem interval). Homicide investigations get the most public attention but other areas in which entomology interacts with the law are food product tampering, medical myiasis (maggot infestation of living tissue) cases, and product liability involving insect comtamination or damage. Here an example might be a powderpost beetle infestation in furniture. Where did the infestation start - lumber mill, manufacturer, retailer?

Wildlife and Crime The Witness Was a Maggot Insects are the basis of a growing but grisly branch of sleuthing called forensic entomology By Anne Underwood Illustrations by Jeff Seaver Maggots have never ranked high on mankind's list of lovable creatures. Legless, squishy larvae of flies, they form writhing, wormlike masses that contaminate meal and feed on dead bodies. "Autopsy rooms are crawling with them," says British entomologist Kenneth Smith. "They climb up the walls to the ceiling and drop onto you while you're working." But after centuries of dropping in where they are unwanted, maggots are finding friends. That is because the little grubs, when examined by the right experts, can help solve crimes. The maggot examiners are forensic entomologists, scientists who apply their knowledge of insects to a variety of investigations-cases involving everything from tainted supermarket chicken to chopped up human bodies. An early case dates to thirteenth-century China, when a murder-by-sickle was solved by having local farmers lay their tools on the ground. Flies were drawn to the blade that still bore minute traces of blood, and the owner confessed. There have been other early cases, but only in the last 20 years has forensic entomology really taken wing. "When you explain the principles to policemen, you see their eyebrows go up." says Bernard Greenberg, an entomologist and crime solver who teaches at the University of Illinois. "You can see the wheels begin to turn."

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 20 years, forensic entomology has become more and more common in police investigations. In 1996, some of us developed the American Board of Forensic Entomology, a certification Board for Forensic Entomologists, similar to the Board certification available for forensic odontologists and forensic anthropologists. 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

FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY (NOT THIS KIND OF BUGS!!) BACK TO HOMEPAGE What is Forensic Entomology? Forensic entomology is the application of the study of insects (and their arthropod counterparts) to the medico/legal system. Insects can be used to determine elapsed time since death (also known as Post Mortem Interval or PMI), but they can also be used to determine if a body has been moved from one location to another, tell whether or not a body has been buried, and give an approximate time of year of when a person died. Entomologists have also been used in narcotics case to determine the country of origin of some drugs. In one case I read about, the police had a suspect in custody for a crime, and they had an entomologist study the insects in the grill of the suspect's car, and they determined the route of travel that he took across the USA. Although entomologists are not heard of as much as others in the field of forensics, they play a crucial role, and have given valuable aid to law enforcement officers in some cases. Here are some interesting websites with more information about this fascinating field: www.rcmp-learning.org/docs/ecdd0030.htm

86. Forensic Entomology Helps Alum Solve Major Crimes (01-23-97) forensic entomology, the use of entomology in court cases, Webb says forensic entomology also can be used in cases of child neglect and rape. http://www.udel.edu/PR/UpDate/97/17/8.html

University of Delaware Office of Public Relations UpDate - Vol. 16, No. 17, Jan. 23, 1997 Alumni spotlight: Forensic entomology helps alum solve major crimes A rotting pig carcass and flies aren't what every entomology major bases a project on. But Jack Webb, Delaware '92 '96M, did, and, given his name-the same as that of the character on television's Dragnet-it's no mystery that he has chosen a career uncovering clues to solve crimes. The pig decomposition study, an essential part of this alum's project on forensic entomology at the University, earned Webb a spot in the highly competitive Delaware Police Academy. Having just completed his two-year probationary period, Webb is a trooper on his way to becoming a detective-solving crimes with his knowledge of insects and their life cycles. Forensic entomology, the use of entomology in court cases, is used most often to help solve homicides. Because even if dead men don't tell tales, the evidence around them certainly does. "Decomposition is a biological process, as is the life cycle of insects," according to Webb, a former UD football player. "Not much can alter that," he said. "Life cycles don't lie, and there's a consistent time period for progression of decay in bodies. Knowledge of insect life cycles helps in dating the time since death and so can reveal false alibis." Dating the time since death of a corpse also can help identify the victim. Knowing the general time of death can lead police to search missing person records for specific dates and often discover that the body has been dumped from another state. Webb follows in the footsteps of two other UD graduates who made forensic entomology their life's work. The late Paul Catts, who received a bachelor's degree in 1952 and master's in 1957, was a UD professor from 1962 to 1980. Prof. Catts was a member of the faculty at Washington State University when he died last year. One of Catts' associates, FBI Special Agent Wayne Lord, Delaware '79M, is currently the agency's sole forensic entomologist, and he serves as a mentor to Webb in the small circle of approximately two dozen forensic entomologists in the United States. Webb, whose UD project adviser was Chuck Mason, added to the body of knowledge in forensic entomology by cataloging the types and progression of insects that mark decomposition in the mid- Atlantic area. Pig carcasses were left to decompose on the campus research farm. Webb would periodically visit, capture the insects and catalog them as to species, cycle of life and time of collection since the pig's death. This profiling of Delaware insects had never been done before. His study yielded five boxes of insects from flies the size of pinpoints to large beetles. Webb says forensic entomology also can be used in cases of child neglect and rape. For example, in cases of child neglect, maggots growing in the feces of an unchanged diaper have been used to date just how long a child has been unattended. Rape cases can be strengthened by documenting the transfer of body lice. "Collection of evidence is so important. Every detail counts," Webb said. For example, a difficult rape case was solved by using insect larva on a ski mask to extract a confession. The crime was committed during the summer months by a ski-masked intruder. The victim thought she recognized the perpetrator's voice as that of a neighbor. Acting on this clue, the police searched the neighbor's home and found a ski mask that matched the description given by the victim. The owner of the ski mask said it had been stored away since winter, but the police discovered larva of an outdoor summer insect on the mask. If the ski mask had been packed away since the previous winter, as the accused claimed, the larvae of an outdoor insect, active in the summer, would not have been on the mask. Presented with this evidence, the neighbor confessed to the crime. -Claire McCabe

Main Page Photo Atlas Blow Fly Life Cycle Insect Collecting Back to Invert. Zoology Introduction Forensic entomology is the study of insects for their use in legal investigations. One of the most popular applications is in medico-criminal investigations of death by mysterious or suspicious causes. A dead body attracts a wide variety of insects which use the corpse for food and as a place to lay their eggs. By carefully examining the species, community composition, and age of these insects, an investigator with a knowledge of forensic entomology can learn many important clues. How long the person has been dead (also known as the post-mortem interval or PMI ), whether the body has been moved after death, and what injuries they may have sustained are some of the things which forensic entomology can determine. The post-mortem interval is often a major concern in trying to reconstruct the events leading up to a victim's death, and forensic entomology is used extensively for this purpose. Certain species of carrion-feeding flies are extremely sensitive to chemicals released by decaying bodies, sometimes arriving within minutes of death. The eggs laid by these flies, and the larvae that subsequently hatch and grow on the corpse, can be used to give a minimum PMI that is, the shortest amount of time the person can have been dead in order to achieve the observed insect community. For instance, if investigators find larvae that take at least three days to develop, they can infer that the victim has been dead for at least three days.

It is for this reason that the interest in forensic entomology has continued to grow, and the field appears to fascinate many people. This is especially true when they begin to realize how much insects can tell humans. For the purposes of this paper, the field of forensic entomology is discussed only as it deals with homicide and what the insects on a corpse can tell medical examiners and law enforcement about time and place of death. The dipteran life cycle is also discussed, as it plays an important role in many of these kinds of investigations and is quite often used by forensic entomologists that are seeking answers. From the Paper: "Many laypeople became interested in forensic entomology through movies such as "The Silence of the Lambs," because forensic entomologists figured somewhat prominently in the movie. These forensic entomologists are now considered "cool" by many people who find the field gruesome and fascinating at the same time. This somewhat morbid fascination with death and what can be learned from a corpse has propelled forensic entomology, if not into the spotlight, than at least out on the edge of the stage. Forensic entomology may or may not be "cool," but it is a serious science and has much to tell individuals that are studying a corpse to determine when that person died and where. If foul play is thought to be involved, when the victim died and where can be pieces of evidence that would be considered very crucial in bringing the murderer to justice."

Some of the contents on this page may disturb you. It is more likely, however, that you will look upon death with new insight. What is Forensic Entomology? By Morten Stærkeby Forensic entomology is the use of insect knowledge in the investigation of crimes or even civil disputes. It is one of the many tools of forensic science. You will see that forensic entomology is not only a useful tool to decide how long human remains have been undetected, but forensic entomology can also be used to find out whether the corpse has been moved after death, the cause of death, and also solve cases of contraband trafficking. Forensic entomology can be said to be 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. It is the medicolegal aspect that I will discuss in this document. Medicolegal forensic entomology includes arthropod involvement in events such as murder, suicide and rape, but also includes physical abuse and contraband trafficking.

Articles Entomology Forensic Entomology Andrea Grippo Insects can most importantly reveal the time of death of a person. By determining what stage of development the insects found on the dead body appear in, a time of death can be established. In the insects that undergo complete development, the larval stages appear quite different from the adult form. The larvae of flies that are commonly recovered from decomposing human remains lack functional legs, and the body of many species appears cream colored, soft-bodied, and quite "maggot-like". Once the larva or "maggot" is through feeding it will migrate away from the corpse in order to find a suitable site to form the pupal stage. The pupae of blowflies are often overlooked, as they closely resemble rat droppings or the egg case of cockroaches. The pupal stage is an extremely important stage to the forensic entomologist and a thorough search should be made for the presence of pupae at any death scene. If the adult insect has not emerged, the pupa will appear featureless and rounded on both ends. If the adult insect has emerged, one end will appear as if it has been cut off, and the hollow interior will be revealed. Most adult blowflies appear a metallic green or blue and are easily recognizable. Forensic entomologists are most commonly called upon to determine the postmortem interval or "time since death" in homicide investigations. The forensic entomologist can use a number of different techniques including species succession, larval weight, larval length, and a more technical method known as the accumulated degree hour technique which can be very precise if the necessary data is available. A qualified forensic entomologist can also make inferences as to possible postmortem movement of a corpse. Some flies prefer specific habitats such as a distinct preference for laying their eggs in an outdoor or indoor environment. Flies can also exhibit preferences for carcasses in shade or sunlit conditions of the outdoor environment. Therefore, a corpse that is recovered indoors with the eggs or larvae of flies that typically inhabit sunny outdoor locations would indicate that someone returned to the scene of the crime to move and attempt to conceal the body.
