Corpse party bugs
summary
Forensic entomology estimates postmortem interval by identifying species and life stages, counting instars and pupae, and using body farms to calibrate growth under specific conditions. Key claim: insect succession constrains time of death rather than eyewitness memory. Blowfly development and stage durations give concrete windows — blowfly maggots 0–3 days, putrefaction 4–10 days, butyric fermentation 20–50 days. Five decomposition stages and taxa like carrion and rove beetles, cheese flies and skin beetles produce usable, testable timelines.
