“…These results are also in agreement with other studies where an increase in temperature within the optimal range can produce accelerated development (Byrd & Allen, 2001;Grassberger & Reiter, 2002a;Grassberger et al, 2003;Krüger et al, 2003). Considering that Cochliomyia is a neotropical genus with a wide distribution (Dear, 1985), that exhibits preferences for warm and moist environments and it is dominant in rural areas (Prudot & Dale, 1987) it is expected to adapt to the different temperature regimes produced by the fluctuations in rural and beach environments like Gomez Plata and Tintipan, respectively.…”

“…The collected and reared insects were later counted and identified. The Calliphoridae was identified according to Dear (1985). Table I contains a compilation of all Coleoptera and Diptera collected during the decomposition studies from 1993 to 1998.…”

Necrophagous insects, mainly Diptera and Coleoptera, are attracted to specific stages of carcass decomposition, in a process of faunistic succession. They are very important in estimating the postmortem interval, the time interval between the death and the discovery of the body. In studies done with pig carcasses exposed to natural conditions in an urban forest (Santa Genebra Reservation) Key words: forensic entomology -Diptera -Coleoptera -carrion insects -decomposition -death timeThe decomposition of a dead body starts firstly through the action of microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria, followed by the action of a series of arthropods, with the predominance of the sarcosaprophagous insects (Nuorteva 1977). Notable differences were noted in the decomposition process, basically related to time of disintegration, being faster in the presence than in the absence of insects (Payne 1965, Jirón & Cartín 1981.After death, the body undergoes natural changes, going through different stages of decomposition that are attractive to necrophagous insects. According to Bornemissza (1957) the decomposer community of a carcass goes through a process of ecological succession. Therefore, the insects arrive in a determined sequence, producing an addition and/or substitution of species. Knowing this sequence as well as their preference for the different stages of decomposition, and the meteorological data, it is possible to determine the postmortem interval (PMI). Insects can also verify the cause of death and if the body was moved (Catts & Goff 1992, Anderson 1997.The basic reason for using insects in criminal investigations, a science denominated as forensic entomology, resides in the fact that insects are the first ones to detect and to find a cadaver and are present in all stages of decomposition and, furthermore, some species are specific for certain areas and seasons. Another important point to be considered is that oviposition can occur minutes after death (Smith 1986). It is interesting to point out that insects of forensic importance are those that do not just visit the corpse or carcass in the adult form, but also breed in these substrates because, by knowing the developmental time of their larvae, it is possible to estimate the time of death.Our objective was to determine the insects that are of importance in estimating the time of death for the study area. Samples were collected from pig carcasses exposed to a natural urban forest and from human corpses at the Institute of Legal Medicine (ILM) 136 136 136 136 136 Arthropods of Pig Carrion and Human Corpses in Brazil LML Carvalho et al. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe study was done in two different environments: in a natural forest area (Santa Genebra Reservation) and at the ILM, both located in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo. The data were collected from 1994 to 1998.In the natural area (Morellato & H Leitão-Filho 1995), 16 pig carcasses (Sus scrofa Linnaeus) weighting approximately 10 kg each were used as baits. They were killed mechanically with a blow to th...
