Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game
I am not sure of my answer, so I wont try, but I can give you the adress of a interesting site article on forensic entomology : http://courses.washington.edu/insects/454Students/TermPaper/TPexamples/TP_2004HER.doc
The only species I can think of are Diptera, blowflies (calliphora) (first species to lay their eggs in the body, therefore who are usefull to approximate a T.O.D)and Coleoptera. I'll quote a sentence of the article which might be the closest I have to answering your question..."Three major concentrations in the still somewhat burgeoning field of forensic entomology have been recognized: the identification of species, the study of larval growth and the changes associated with different developmental conditions and the determination of how differences in how thermal differences affect insect invasion of the cadaver "
