Abstract

Forensic entomology is the study of the insects associated with a human corpse in an effort to
determine elapsed time since death. 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.
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. 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. 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.
