Abstract

This investigative work was carried out in order to determine the behavior in the arrival of the Diptera and the formation of the larvae in part of an animal carcass. This type of study is of great importance in the forensic field because it provides information regarding the time of death of an individual by analyzing the characteristics of the development of the main insects that invade the body once their vital functions cease. Among the materials used are a pig’s head (Sus Scrofa domestic), an entomological mesh made by the students, acetone, cotton, and jars for collecting the different species of Diptera. The observation and collection method were used in certain periods of time. The results show the population of Diptera present in the different stages of the carcass and the number of larvae formed. The cadaveric fauna that develops in a corpse constitutes an important element in the forensic entomological study that allows determining not only the time but also the possible causes of death of an individual.
