Death's Acre page 98-110

Maggots:
small warm-like larva that hatch from eggs laid on a body by flies also called blowflies when hatched they are smaller than grains of rice the feast on decaying flesh deepen our understanding of death

Flies are infinite in number

Climate: dry: the bodied mummify, dry out and shrivel

Reed:
How does a corpse alter the environment in the small ecosystem where it decays? found the total number of insects on, in and around the carcasses was greater during the summer decomposition went faster in open areas and higher temperatures flies are ground in 50 and below weather

Insect Study:
observe and gather insects watch and see what happens flies are very attractive to blood yellow jackets and wasp are 2nd to show up after maggots arrive after minutes or hrs.	carrion beetles arrive to feed on the carrion and on the maggots

advanced state of decomposition and partial skeletonzation is hard to find out what killed someone expert in footprint and print analysis : discoloration patterns on barefoot and arch and skin on the shoe is how they would tell her flip flops were still on her feet when she died

entomology:

removed chest, abdomen and both hands, put them in kettle of water to boil to remove the flesh then brushed the skin clean. He could then tell that she was stabbed.
