Forensic Entomology
Ingrid Hubata Forensic entomology is the study of insects and other arthropods and their connection to legal issues. Forensic entomology includes arthropod involvement in murder, suicide, rape, and physical abuse. Arthropods eat dead vertebrate bodies, and recycle organic matter in our ecosystem. After a death, one of the first groups of insects that arrive on a dead vertebrate are usually blowflies. The female oviposits two days after the death of the vertebrate, and the blowflies then go through growing stages. We can calculate the amount of time since the egg was laid if we know how long it takes the insect to go through the different stages of life. This calculation of the age of the insect is an approximation of the time of death, because the death of the victim usually occurs before the eggs are laid. This period of time depends on the temperature, time of death, and whether the body is exposed or immersed in soil or water. Insects usually lay their eggs on a corpse within two days after the person dies. Insects can also be of help in establishing whether the corpse has been moved after death, and movement of suspects, goods, or cars can be traced with the help of insects. Insect parts or whole insects can be found in car parts, such as in tire treads. By identifying the insects found, and figuring out the distribution of each insect, as well as the species, one can describe the areas where the suspect has been.

Forensic Entomology
Read on to know more about forensic entomology, the importance of data collection, insects that are collected and lastly the education required to become a forensic entomologist… What is Forensic Entomology
Forensic Entomology is the science of using the insects and all arthropods that are found in decomposing remains to aid in legal investigations. The field of forensic entomology is very vast and is broken down into three general areas that is medico-legal, urban and stored product pests.
Medico-legal forensic entomology primarily deals with the criminal part of the legal system and focuses on the feeding insects that are found in human remains. The urban forensic entomology focuses on the insects that affect the humans and the immediate environment. Both the criminal and civil components are involved as the urban pests feed on both the living and the dead. Finally the stored product pest forensic entomology deals with insects that are found in food and deals with criminal and civil proceedings that involve food contamination.
Forensic Entomology – Data Collection
The forensic entomologists have to take a large amount of data from the scene. A large amount of time and energy goes into collecting the data as everything that it observed and collected has to hold up in the court of law. The first bit of information that is collected is the climatic conditions of the area. In addition to this, the ambient air and maggot mass temperature are required as they help in determining the growth of insects that are collected during the investigation.

ABFE is the body that assigns a Diplomate certificate to a scientist who has achieved a high level of expertise in entomology or criminal sciences. Includes a history of the non-profit organisation, news and case studies.
http://forensicentomologist.org/
Forensic Entomology, or Medicocriminal 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 trained and educated forensic entomologist.
Insect scientists, or entomologists, are being called upon with increasing frequency to apply their knowledge and expertise to criminal and civil proceedings. They are also recognized members of forensic laboratories and medical/legal investigation teams.
The American Board of Forensic Entomology, ABFE , is the certification body that assigns a Diplomate certificate to a scientist who already has achieved a high level of expertise in entomology or criminal sciences.
This certificate, once achieved, attests that the entomologist or criminologist has qualified to a higher standard of scientific study in medicocriminal 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. Saint Joseph 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. "While a specific major in this field is not available

Education through Entomology
Forensic entomology is a branch of forensic science that applies the study of arthropods and insects in the investigation of criminal matters. Although forensic entomology is primarily used for investigating death and murder cases, it also finds its uses in poison and drug investigations, particularly to determine the amount of negligence of children and the elderly by their care-takers and identify the actual location and time of a particular crime such as murder. Forensic entomology has three broad divisions, namely, stored product, and urban and medico-legal forensic entomology. The history of forensic entomology can be traced back to the 13 th century. The Chinese were probably the first to have studied and applied forensic entomology. Later on, the Germans and the French took a systematic approach to forensic entomology. In the late 19 th century, the mass exhumations by Hoffman and Reinhard utilized forensic entomology for the first time, and they are widely regarded as the co-founders of this branch of forensic science. Subsequently, forensic entomology was further publicized with the launch of a French publication by Megnin, which discussed forensic entomology in detail. The book went on to become extremely popular in Canada and the United States.

Forensic Entomology 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.

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

Summary: Investigators can use insects in both criminal and civil investigations. Insects can be used to determine when, and sometimes where, a person died in homicide investigations and are also sometimes the subject of product liability cases. Jack DeAngelis, PhD OSU Ext. Entomologist (ret.)
What is forensic entomology?
Forensic entomology is the study of insects in investigations for civil and criminal law cases . Homicide investigations usually get the most attention but product liability cases are important as well.
Forensic entomology in homicide investigations
Certain species of flies are strongly attracted to the odor of decomposing human and animal tissue. In a typical case fly eggs are laid on a dead body and the resulting larvae, or maggots, utilize and further breakdown the dead tissue. The sequence of development from egg to adult fly is temperature dependent and highly predictable for a given geographical area. Additional Keywords: entomology, death, maggots, blow flies, post-mortem interval, medicocriminal, CSI, crime scene investigation A forensic entomologist uses the evidence of this developmental sequence to work backward to deduce the time since death, or

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.

In addition to post-mortem interval, fly larvae can also reveal other important information about a crime:
  • Wounds
  • Movement Since local conditions (e.g. sun or shade, urban or rural) affect which species will colonize a corpse, it may be possible to determine whether or not a body has been moved since its death.
  • Toxicology drugs or toxins from a corpse may be detectable in fly larvae even after the body tissues are too decomposed for standard toxicological tests.
