Entomology is the study of insects.
Forensic Entomology uses insects to help law enforcement determine the cause, location and time of death of a human being. Insect life cycles act as precise clocks which begin 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. For more on Dr. Haskell, click here For more information on Forensic Entomology, click here.
