“…Necrophagous insects are present in terrestrial environments, where they colonise exposed carcases (see references in Csiki 2006;Xing et al 2015;Pirrone & Buatois 2016;Serrano-Brañas et al 2018;Augustin et al 2019). These insects belong to six orders: (1) Isoptera, termites of the families Termitidae, Rhinotermitidae and Mastotermitidae; (2) Coleoptera, beetles of the families Silphidae, Dermestidae, Cleridae and Tenebrionidae; (3) Diptera, blow flies (Calliphoridae); (4) Ephemeroptera, mayflies; (5) Hymenoptera, sweat bees (Halictidae), sphecid wasps (Sphecidae), and some species of ants (Formicidae); and (6) Lepidoptera, tineid moths.…”

“…The first possible tracemakers to be ruled out are ants and termites due to their social character, since the tracks left by these organisms have variable star-shaped features (Backwell et al 2012;Xing et al 2015). Other producers that can be excluded are the tineid moths, which are specialists in the consumption of keratinised structures such as horns and hooves (Behrensmeyer 1978;Hill et al 1987;Serrano-Brañas et al 2018). Moreover, some mayflies (polymitarcids) produce U-shaped burrows that are separated by a thin wall; they do not bore furrows or pupation chambers (Serrano-Brañas et al 2018).…”
