When a thermobaric weapon levels a zone, you’d think nothing survives.
But give it 24 hours, and maggots show up.
π Why It Matters in Forensics:
- Blowflies detect burnt protein β and lay eggs on charred remains.
- Maggot growth rates help reconstruct time of death, even post-blast.
π₯ But Thereβs a Twist:
- High heat alters decomposition speed.
- Forensic entomologists must adjust their models or risk wrong conclusions.
π― Did You Know?
- Some maggot species prefer burned tissue β it’s easier to digest.
They crawl where flames once roared. ππ₯
