1.

What is forensic entomology?

The use of insects to decompose bodies

The solving of crimes

The study of insects

The use of insects to aid legal investigations

Pitanje 2

2.

What aspects of investigations can forensic entomology give insight to?

Toxicology

Manner of Death

Post Mortem Interval (PMI)

Pitanje 3

3.

How do maggots affect the decomposition of the body?

Decrease the rate of decomposition

Have no affect on the rate of decomposition

Increase the rate of decomposition

Pitanje 5

5.

Why is forensic entomology important for cases that are more than a few days old?

After a few days, the crime should be solved and the insects aren't needed anyways.

After a few days, there is nothing remaining except insects.

After a few days, entomology is the most accurate in determining time since death.

After a few days, the body needs to decompose for the investigation to go further and insects will allow that to happen more quickly.

Pitanje 6

6.

What other information, besides time of death, can forensic entomology tell us (Check all that apply).

If there are wounds present

If a body was disturbed after death

If a body was moved after death

Pitanje 7

7.

What information is used to determine time since death?

Only presence or absence of insects

Only insect developmental rates

Both presence or absence of insects and their developmental rates

Pitanje 9

9.

What are the TWO methods of determining PMI? (Choose TWO)

Looking at the type of insects present

Looking at the life cycles and life stages of the insects

Looking at the number of insects present

Looking at the decomposition patterns of the body

Pitanje 10

10.

What is looked at to determine time of death if the body was dead less than a month?

Life cycles of insects

Number of insects

Types of insects

Succession of different insects

Pitanje 11

11.

What is looked at if the body was dead more than a month?

Life cycles of insects

Number of insects

Types of insects

Succession of different insects

Pitanje 12

12.

Which type of insects come within minutes of death?

Blowflies

Houseflies

Maggots

Blowflies and Houseflies

Pitanje 13

13.

What is the time frame that insects can no longer give important information about the time of death?

After one week

After one month

After one year

After two years

Pitanje 14

14.

What is one of the first insects to settle on a dead body?

Dermestid Beetle

Bore Beetle

Maggots

Blowfly

Pitanje 16

16.

Why is the information gathered from a blowfly very reliable when determining time of death?

There have been many studies of their life cycle

The length of each cycle is well known

Cycles are easy to recognize

The cycles are well studied and are well known

Pitanje 17

17.

When does the dermestid beetle arrive on a dead body?

After 24 hours

Late in the decomposition process

Soon after death

Pitanje 18

18.

Which type of beetle larvae is the most common type collected by forensic entomologists from human remains?

Carrion bettle larvae

Bone beetle larvae

Dermestid beetle larvae

Pitanje 19

19.

What do bone beetles feed on?

Skin and fibers

Larvae of other insects and decomposing flesh

Bones

Pitanje 20

Describe the carrion beetles and when the arrive on a corpse.

Pitanje 21

21.

What does it mean when it says insects are "cold-blooded"?

They are cold to the touch

They are sensitive to their environment

They have no emotions

Pitanje 22

22.

How does temperature affect the decomposition rate?

Warmer temperatures have more insects and more decomposition

Warmer temperatures have less insects and more decomposition

Cooler temperatures have more insects and more decomposition

Cooler temperatures have less insects and more decomposition

Pitanje 24

24.

How does the indoor/outdoor location affect the rate of decomposition?

There will be a greater richness of insect species at an outdoor crime scene

There will be a greater richness of insect species at an indoor crime scene

Pitanje 25

25.

What is forensic entomotoxicology?

Pitanje 26

26.

Why can insects give insight to wound sites in earlier stages of death?

Insects naturally lay eggs in openings, showing where wounds are

Insects will avoid wound areas

Insects will bite in areas where wounds are

Pitanje 27

How can insects give insight to location change after death?
