Study Guide #13 Forensic Entomology Prepared by: Dr. Richard W. Merritt Dept. of Entomology Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824 I. Introduction and Definition of Forensic Entomology Forensic entomology is the application of the study of insects and other arthropods to legal issues, especially in a court of law. Although forensic entomology includes several categories, the type that we will be talking about is medicolegal forensic entomology. It deals with arthropod involvement in events surrounding felonies, usually violent crimes such as murder, suicide, and rape, but also includes other violations such as physical abuse and contraband trafficking. A more accurate name for this category is medicocriminal forensic entomology. The most common application of the medicocriminal category relates to death investigations. Key elements in these investigations, such as time since death (that is the time between death and corpse discovery, which is generally referred to as the postmortem interval or PMI), movement of the corpse, manner and cause of death, association of suspects with the death scene, as well as detection of toxins or drugs through analyses of insect larvae, may all relate to arthropod occurrence and activities.

FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY Insects on the Witness Stand 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.

Homepage Divisions Expertise News ... Visitors Book FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY – THE CONTRIBUTION OF ARC-PPRI TO CRIME PREVENTION IN SOUTH AFRICA In action in the field with the police Forensic entomology (FE) is the application of entomology to forensic science, especially in the investigation of criminal activities, including murder. FE is based on the principle of ecological succession, wherein different insects invade a decomposing body in a series of successive waves. By identifying the insects that comprise these waves (guilds) and by determining their stage of development, it is possible to calculate the time elapsed since death – the post-mortem interval (PMI). An analysis of the insects at a crime scene can also indicate possible causes of death and manipulation of the body prior to disposal. This investigative science is known as medico-legal forensic entomology. Entomology is well established as an integral aspect of medico-legal forensic science in many parts of the world, and is rapidly gaining recognition in South Africa. This has been achieved through support from the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology (DACST), as part of the Crime Prevention Strategy Innovation Fund. The original DACST grant was made to the ARC-Plant Protection Research Institute. The funding enabled Dr Mervyn Mansell, a specialist on Diptera at ARC-PPRI, in collaboration with Prof. T.C. van der Linde (University of the Orange Free State), to develop the science of forensic entomology in South Africa.

Announcements Syllabus Discussion Forum Lecture Topics ... Home Forensic Entomology Project Forensic Project Photos Welcome to the Forensic Entomology Project (FEP) page. The FEP replaces the Bug-in-the-Cup project only for the students listed in the table below. The forensic entomology project involves a study of the insect fauna that visit a dead animal. A number of insects are attracted to dead animals and use them as a source of food for their young. The sequence of visitation and the species involved can be used to determine how long an animal has been dead. Measurements of the size and age of the different fly species found on a carcass can provide an accurate record of the time since death. In this study, you will examine the sequence of fly visitation on a dead animal and follow the development of the immature flies. You will keep records on development time, size of the larvae, when they pupate, and when the first adult flies emerge. We will also show you how to identify the flies to species. The information you collect will allow you to generate a graph of time verses development, that can be used to calculate the interval since death, the same method that is used in forensic investigations by the police. Project Procedures: You will need to visit the site each day until the first adult flies emerge. You will make observations (as a diary) on the condition of the animal specimen and determine whether eggs, larvae, or pupae are present. Your observations should include such things as where on the body the eggs are laid, whether the larvae aggregate, larval feeding behavior, and any other sorts of activity you see.

The broad field of forensic entomology is commonly broken down into three general areas: medicolegal, urban, and stored product pests. The medicolegal section focuses on the criminal component of the legal system and deals with the necrophagous (or carrion) feeding insects that typically infest human remains. The urban aspect deals with the insects that affect man and his immediate environment. This area has both criminal and civil components as urban pests may feed on both the living and the dead. The damage caused by their mandibles (or mouthparts) as they feed can produce markings and wounds on the skin that may be misinterpreted as prior abuse. Urban pests are of great economic importance and the forensic entomologist may become involved in civil proceedings over monetary damages.

Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - Paraphyly in Lucilia cuprina mitochondrial DNA: Implication for forensic entomology and evidence for an ancient hybridization event Jamie R Stevens, University of Exeter, School of Biological Sciences, Prince of Wales Road, Exeter, United Kingdom, Richard Wall, University of Bristol, School of Biological Sciences, Woodland Road, Bristol, United Kingdom, and Jeffrey D Wells , University of Alabama at Birmingham, Department of Justice Sciences, 901 South 15th Street, Room 101, Birmingham, AL. The closely related species Lucilia Phaenicia cuprina and L. sericata are widespread, common, and extensively sympatric blow flies. Both may be serious pests of sheep, and both may be collected as evidence during an investigation of human death. A global molecular systematic survey of these flies found a significant lack of concordance between the cladogram based on nuclear 28S rRNA (28S) sequence and that based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase (CO) sequence. The 28S tree included lineages corresponding to each of the species as defined by morphological criteria. The CO tree supported a paraphyletic L. cuprina
