Summary:
Say a corpse is found in the woods. No one knows how long it's been there. That's a job for forensic entomologists. They'll study the insects on the corpse. They'll look at what kinds of insects are on the body. They'll also figure out what stage of development the bugs are in. All that information will help them figure out when the victim died.
