“…However, because the locations of unusual deaths are varied, samples from a variety of regions are included in the present study. As the research of Cainé et al in Portugal [ 5 ], the present study utilized molecular barcoding as well as morphological identification [ 14 – 21 ] to ensure confident species identification. The present study showed a strong preference of incidence to summer, whereas a previous study in Thailand, belonging to tropical rainforest, did not display any seasonal preference [ 23 ].…”

Forensic entomology applies insect evidence to legal problems such as the estimation of minimum postmortem interval (mPMI). For this purpose, knowledge of the insect fauna that are attracted to human cadavers in each geographic region is a prerequisite. Despite many studies investigating the insect fauna attracted to meat, there has been no survey of the entomofauna on human cadavers in the East Asian temperate climate zone, particularly in Korea. Therefore, this study reports the entomofauna collected from medicolegal autopsies in northeastern Seoul and its suburbs. Insect samples were collected from 35 medicolegal autopsies in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Molecular and morphological methods were utilized for taxonomic identification. Among 1398 individual samples belonging to 3 orders, 13 families, 18 genera, and 32 species, the dominant family and species were Calliphoridae and Lucilia sericata, respectively. Despite its limited scale, this study provides a snapshot of the general entomofauna that are attracted to human cadavers in this region.

“…After initial identification at a family level on the basis of the shape of the posterior spiracles, a maggot sample was used for DNA barcoding. All the adult beetles and beetle larvae were taxonomically identified on the basis of their morphological features to the species and the family level, respectively [ 18 – 21 ].…”
