Overview

Say a corpse is found in the woods. No one knows how long it's been there. That's a job for forensic eotomologists. They'll study the insects on the corpse. They'll look at what kinds of insects are on the body. They'll also figure out what stage of development the bugs are in. All that information will help them figure out when the victim died.

Want to know more? Buzz through this book and read about: exactly what kinds of bugs show up on a corpse; how a forensic entomologist used bugs to help solve a six-year-old murder case; a place in Tennessee where scientists study how dead bodies decompose; and whether forensic entomology might be in your future!
