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.

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.

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.)
