Abstract

With the number of insect species far outnumbering the rest of the animal species presently on Earth, the surprising aspect of forensic entomology is not that biological information derived from insects is a useful tool for assisting in legal matters, but rather, so few resources are devoted to forensic entomological education, training, and research. An examination of the traditional and emerging uses of insects in forensic situations amply shows the breadth of knowledge required by entomologists, opportunities for further development of the eld, and in parallel, the potential intellectual capital available from scientic studies of insects and their arthropod relatives for applications to the courts.
