Recently, the level of awareness of forensic entomology within the entomological community, especially in the United States, has increased. The insects that have been most extensively studied in relation to their forensic uses are the blowfliesmembers of the Calliphoridae fly familyin particular their larvae or maggots, because: They are the insects most commonly associated with corpses. They colonise the body most rapidly after death and in greater numbers than most other insect groups. They usually provide the most accurate information regarding the post-mortem intervalthe time that has elapsed since death, a major objective in forensic entomology.

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.

Forensic Entomology By Dael E. Morris Insect Investigations Submitted April, 2002 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 Claim investigation Disaster Strikes Temperature Data ... Laying the Cards Down 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.

Brazoria County Sheriff's Department Identification Division Forensic Entomology 1.01 What is Forensic Entomology? 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. Since the earth is a predominantly arthropod world, it is not uncommon that we mere humans comes in contact with these creatures. They make the world go round, as they pollinate, eat other arthropods, eat living plants and trees, dead plants and trees, living vertebrates, dead vertebrates and vertebrate dung and urine and a lot of other things. The feature with arthropods that are most important in medicolegal forensic entomology is that they are important carrion feeders, that is they eat dead vertebrate bodies, including man. Thus they perform a valuable recycling of organic matter in our ecosystem. One of the first groups of insects that arrive on a dead vertebrate is usually blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Usually the female oviposits within two days after death of the vertebrate. Then the blowfly goes trough the following stadiums: egg, 1. instar larvae, 2. instar larvae, 3. instar larvae, prepupae, pupae within puparium, imago.

54. Forensic Entomology Helps Alum Solve Major Crimes (01-23-97) 23, 1997 Alumni spotlight forensic entomology helps alum solve major crimes A rottingpig carcass and flies aren't what every entomology major bases a project 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

55. Forensic Entomology And The Judicial System forensic entomology and the Judicial System A threehour symposium on forensicentomology and its utility to the legal system will be presented. http://www.ent.iastate.edu/entsoc/ncb98/foren.html

Forensic Entomology and the Judicial System presented by Robert D. Hall A three-hour symposium on forensic entomology and its utility to the legal system will be presented. Topics to be covered include: historical perspectives, biological framework, the fundamental approaches employed, inferences possible and the major insect species involved with special reference to the central U. S. Criminal and civil case histories will be used to illustrate strengths and potential weaknesses of the science in the context of adversarial proceedings. Current research efforts will be discussed, and the admissibility of entomological evidence considered under both Daubert and Frye standards. Methods of attacking entomological evidence will be analyzed. Robert D. Hall, Professor of Entomology and Attorney at Law, has been on the entomology faculty at the University of Missouri for 20 years. He earned the Ph.D. (Medical Entomology) in 1977 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1997, and is a Diplomat, American Board of Forensic Entomology , Board Certified Entomologist, and a member of the Missouri Bar. His long-standing involvement with forensic entomology includes research, casework and teaching, and his frequent involvement as expert witness has led to a particular interest in issues involving admissibility and weight of entomological evidence. He is also Commander (LTC), 480th Medical Detachment (Entomology), U.S. Army Reserve.

Forensic Entomology Forensic entomology is the application of the study of insects and other arthropods to legal issues, especially in a court of law. It can be divided into the following three categories: Urban forensic entomology. This includes litigations and civil law actions involving arthropods in dwellings or as house and garden pests, as well as law suits dealing with misuse of pesticides. For example, forensic entomology expertise can be useful in the argument between a landlord and a tenant over who infested the house with cockroaches. Stored-product forensic entomology. This branch of forensic entomology is dealing with arthropod infestation or contamination of a wide range of commercial products. For example, in a lawsuit against a ketchup company over a fly in one of their bottles, a forensic entomology expert can help to determine if the fly got into the bottle at the company plant, or at the buyer's home. Medicolegal (or medicocriminal) forensic entomology. This category focuses on arthropod involvement in events surrounding felonies, such as murder, rape, physical abuse, contraband trafficking, etc. For example, age of fly maggots collected from the body of a murder victim can help to determine time of the victim's death.

Forensic Entomology (In part, from a Lecture by Dr. Michael Weiss - Department of Entomology) Insects and Murder I bet you never thought that insects could detectives and coroners of the world, but there are many examples of how insects have helped solve crimes. Some insects act as scavengers and decomposers, providing a service like the garbage man. As an example, can you recall a road-killed animal after about 2 or 3 days? Although maggots may not be beautiful, they help clean up environment and provide a valuable service by recycling nutrients. They can also provide valuable information to help solve crime. "The life cycle of blow flies [was] the key to our investigation of the body of a thirty-seven-year-old male, found by joggers in a swamp on windward side of Oahu. the corpse was infested with maggots of two species of blow fly. Our analysis of the larvae, compared with both laboratory-rearing data and results of decomposition studies, suggest the victim had been dead for roughly 120 hours. That conclusion was corroborated by information obtained independently by the Honolulu police: the victim had last been seen alive 123 hours before the discovery of he corpse, and he had failed to report to work 121 hours before his body was found. Our estimate helped place the victim in the company of the suspect, who was later convicted of the murder(Goff 1991) ." The major group of insects that feed on dead animals are flies and beetles. Forensic entomology is not just used in gruesome cases, it is the general use of insects and other arthropods in legal issues. It can include; urban arthropod pest issues, stored-product arthropod pest issues, and medical-legal issues.
