Answer 7

There are two main ways of using insects to determine elapsed time since death : -
1 - using successional waves of insects
2 - using maggot age and development.

Answer 8

The first method is based on the fact that a human body, or any kind of carrion, supports a very rapidly changing ecosystem going from the fresh state to dry bones in a matter of weeks or months depending on geographic region. During this decomposition, the remains go through rapid physical, biological and chemical changes, and different stages of the decomposition are attractive to different species of insects. Certain species of insects are often the first witnesses to a crime. They usually arrive within 24 h of death if the season is suitable

Answer 9
