Abstract | ||||
The applications of forensic entomology have proceeded so fast to overstep the use of insects and spiders in estimating the postmortem interval or cause of death. Therefore, it is interesting to incorporate insects and acarines in crime scene intelligence to uncover domestic crimes against humanity, through providing evidences of genocide, drugging, torture and even sexual assault prior to death. Moreover, insects can provide important information concerning the identification of explosive compounds and mass graves movement or postmortem movement of body | ||||
