Kobus Hoffman, 23 July 2024 Good morning all, anyone have some references in entomology to determine age of a carcass? Erik Verreynne, 23 July 2024 Hi Kobus. It will depend on the humidity and temperature. This variability is one of the big challenges we have in forensic entomology in subtropics. Ask Greg Simpson for the contact details of Wilmari Uys. She is a pHD student developing models to extrapolate time of death on pupae development of flies on carcasses. Jacoba Donga, 24 July 2024 W.r.t forensic entomology. I agree with Erik. Lots of variables and unknowns. I looked at blowflies for another purpose - rabbit haemorrhagic disease surveillance. Will send you some references on identification. Or follow Erik's advice and talk to the specialists.
