Abstract

The applications of forensic entomology have proceeded so fast to overstep the use of insects and spiders
in estimating the postmortem interval or cause of death. Therefore, it is interesting to incorporate insects and
acarines in crime scene intelligence to uncover domestic crimes against humanity, through providing
evidences of genocide, drugging, torture and even sexual assault prior to death. Moreover, insects can
provide important information concerning the identification of explosive compounds and mass graves
movement or postmortem movement of body
