Here we go, all ready to go. We' ve got a lump of flesh here which they' re feeding on at the moment. Oh, yeah, look at those. Can I grab one of those? Just pick one of those up. I mean, this guy here. I' m not sure about holding a flesheating beetle larvae. Look at that. Oh, if you feel asleep and fell in there that would be your lot, wouldn' t it? The role of insects in decomposition has lead to a whole new science, and one which the museum has embraced. By looking at the development of maggots at a murder scene, scientists are able to say when death probably occurred. Forensic entomology, as it' s called, is now a crucial weapon in the armoury of the police. The secrets of forensic entomology have largely been unravelled through work conducted not on humans, but on the pigs. Now that' s changing, thanks to an extraordinary research facility in Tennessee. Museum scientist Amoret Whitaker has spent years studying dead pigs in order to understand the decaying process, but here she' s able to work with real human remains. |
