They call it Forensic Entomology, where forensics refers to the determination of the cause, location and time of death and Entomology is the study of insects.
Forensic Entomology uses insects to help law inspectors determine the cause, location and time of death of a human being. Insect life cycles act as precise clocks which being within minutes of death. They can be used to closely determine the time of death when other methods are useless. They can also show if a body has been moved after death.
This biological section that recently been applied through all the world’s scientific authorities, was founded by Dr. Ali Rasmi, a professor at the Egyptian national center for research.

stvalentine,  I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag. I wasnt sure what was newsworthy in this story. News should always be about posting current stuff - new things you've discovered. Please review What Makes News News. It can really help if you follow the old "W5" news formula -- making sure you have answered the questions: Who? What? Where? When? And Why? (You might want to check out our J-Tips for more help.)

This link to an online encyclopedia type entry isn't news. Nor is it accurate. Check out the Body Farm.
