Forensic fly samples. Reference box of preserved flies (top) and their larvae (bottom) used in forensic analysis. These flies are attracted to carrion such as human corpses. The number and type of insects found on a long-dead corpse, as well as their stage of development, can aid in determining the time of death. Photographed at the Institute Recherche Criminelle in France.
