The time between a persons death and the discovery of the body Post Mortem Interval
Four stages of metamorphosis egg, larva, pupa, adult
Where do female insects usually lay eggs? Natural body openings or wounds
What are the four stages of decay? Fresh, bloated, decay, post-decay
Begins at the moment of death and lasts until the body becomes bloated. Blow flies and flesh flies are among the first to find the body. Predatory wasps and beetles may arrive later to feed on the maggots (but not the corpse) Fresh Decay
Begins when the body becomes inflated due to the production of gases from bacteria that begin to putrefy the body or cause it to decompose House flies now join the other flies and their maggots form feeding masses that help to liquefy the tissues of the Bloated Decay
Begins when the skin breaks and the gases escape. Maggot masses are large and very active as they grow older and larger. This is the stage of decomposition that smells bad At the end of this stage, the maggots leave the corpse in for a place to pup Decay
Most of the flesh is gone from the corpse, with only cartilage, bone, and skin remaining. This stage is devoid of flies. Some beetles continue to feed on the highly desiccated or dried remains. Post Decay
