Extractions: University of Missouri-Columbia 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 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.

Extractions: INSECTS HELP SOLVE HEINOUS CRIMES! Technically, forensic entomology is the involvement of insect science in any legal proceeding, e.g., a civil suit over termite damage or food contamination. The phrase, however, is now strongly associated with the investigation of untimely human death (sometimes called medico-criminal entomology). Entomological knowledge can reveal the manner or location of death, but is most often used to estimate the time of death, or postmortem interval (PMI). Two time-dependent processes may be involved here. The first is the growth of insect larvae that feed upon the victim. Carrion insects rarely deposit offspring on a live person, therefore the age of a larva provides a minimum time since death. The second is the succession of carrion-arthropod species found in the body, which has the potential of providing both a minimum and maximum estimated PMI. Many people are initially skeptical of this branch of science. Several important environmental variables are likely to be unknown to investigators, leading to uncertainty in their conclusions. The entomological phenomena themselves may exhibit a fair amount of natural variation. What is perhaps not generally known, however, is that these sources of uncertainty apply equally well to other methods of PMI estimation. In practice, forensic entomology has become the most reliable method for using the condition of the victim to estimate PMI values greater than about three days. When knowledgeable experts have been involved, accurate and precise PMI estimates as high as two months have been made.

Extractions: More About the Science The typical death scene investigator learns quickly that maggots and corpses go together. For many years, the "worms" crawling in the eyes, nose, and other orfices and wounds on dead bodies were considered just another disgusting element of decay something to be rinsed away as soon as the corpse was placed on the table for autopsy. While ballistics, firearm examination, bitemarks, gunpowder residue chemistry, blood spatter analysis, and other elements of scientific criminology were studied and refined, the insects associated with death scenes were largely ignored. Through the years, however, a few scientists have researched forensic entomology, which has become a fascinating, and at the same time a more arcane, field of biological study. However, the scope of the field is broad. The potential for contributions of entomology to legal investigations has been known for at least 700 years, but only within the last decade or so has entomology been defined as a discrete field of forensic science.

Forensic Entomology Web Ring
This is a web ring for sites containing information about forensic entomology.
http://www.uio.no/~mostarke/forens_ent/ring.html

Extractions: T he F orensic E ntomology W eb R ing Welcome to the Forensic Entomology Web Ring . This ring contains sites with information regarding forensic entomology, including theoretical, educational and practical information etc. What is a web ring? A web ring groups web sites with a similar theme together in such a way that the user can visit each one in succession, finally coming again to the starting site. One way to accomplish this result is for the site owners link their sites to each other, but this method is difficult to organize and maintain. Web rings involve special code that does the hard part. All each user has to do is submit his or her site's URL to the web ring's owner, the Ringmaster, and put a standardized HTML fragment on the page. If something about a site changes, such as the location, its owner can easily edit the appropriate information without other users worrying about changing links, etc. Web rings are flexible, and can do several neat tricks that would be impractical for a manually constructed ring. For example, a user can move forward or backward along the ring, skip sites, visit a random site, or list all the sites. Why join the Forensic Entomology Web Ring?

Costs can be negotiated by contacting the forensic entomologists/authors (below). The poster above depicts the material required by an entomologist from a corpse or a fly struck wound to estimate either a post-mortem or post-injury time interval. It is an extension of the diagram created by the late E. Paul Catts in Entomology and Death: A Procedural Guide. The poster is available in three sizes from the forensic entomologists/authors (below). The Entomology Kit pictured above is for use by police services and pathologists when a Forensic Entomologist is unable to attend a scene of crime. The kit comes complete with fold-up insect net, ventilated containers for insects and soil containing insects, plastic all-purpose forceps, 70% alcohol and instructions in the form of the poster and brochure above.

http://www.key-net.net/users/swb/forensics/int.htm

Extractions: This web site is designed primarily to teach police officers and homicide investigators the minimal skills they will need to interact profitably with a forensic entomologist. It should inform them how to collect insect larvae at a death scene, how to send these larvae to an entomologist, and what they might eventually expect from expert testimony. A secondary function is to describe to other forensic entomologists how I approach my cases, in the hope that this information will lead to a standardization and refinement of techniques. This is a new field, with only a few practitioners, and at present some of these work in different and sometimes incompatible ways. The methods I currently use are outlined here. These are of course evolving with time, as every case presents a slightly different set of circumstances, and has to be tackled individually; conversely, every case, if it is viewed with an open mind to its uniqueness, contributes somewhat to the whole, and thus to the competency of the investigator. I also hope that this page will provide some insight for those who are contemplating becoming a forensic entomologist. Forensic entomology, although technically dealing with the relationship between the courts and insects, is in fact involved almost exclusively with maggots and flies. It is nothing more or less than the applied taxonomy and ethology of carrion flies. Therefore, to the extent this page addresses general methods, it will stress fly biologywhich in and of itself is beautifully intricateand not the more macabre aspects of case work.
