Forensic Entomology is that special associated distinctive discipline of Forensic Science that deals with the assorted aspects of an insect’s or a maggot’s life cycle so as to assess the time since death.

1. FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY
Forensic entomology is the application and study of insect and other arthropod biology to
criminal matters. It also involves the application of the study of arthropods, including insects,
arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans to criminal or legal cases.

6. Forensic Entomology
!! MODERN TECHNIQUES !!
Many new techniques have been developed and are used in order to more accurately gather evidence,
or reevaluate at old information. The use of these newly developed techniques and evaluations have
become relevant in litigation and appeals. Forensic entomology not only uses arthropod biology, but
it pulls from other sciences, introducing fields like chemistry and genetics, exploiting their inherent
synergy through the use of DNA in forensic entomology.
