A deceased person is a veritable ecosystem in which numerous species thrive and struggle to survive. We encounter moths abandoning wardrobes and cupboards in favor of drying skin and hair, grave-digging beetles burrowing under the dead body to better protect their offspring, flies, worms, bacteria, and larvae of all kinds.
An observer of this particular fauna, the forensic entomologist seeks to decipher the biology of these species with a specific goal: to date the insects' arrival and determine the time of death. Thus goes life, frantically recycling, and in this case, it is insects that clean up nature and sometimes shed light on Justice.
