💥 Thermobaric Blasts & the Disappearing Beetles 🪲🔥
Ever notice how carcass beetles vanish from explosion sites?
Turns out, they hate the heat.
🔍 Entomological Insight:
- Silphidae, common forensic beetles, avoid areas with residual surface temperatures >50°C.
- Their absence can be a data point, not just a coincidence.
🧠 Forensic Hack:
- No beetles + early maggots = likely recent thermobaric activity.
- Their delay in colonization helps pinpoint the time window post-detonation.
🎯 Fast Fact:
- These beetles arrive only once the blast site cools, usually 48+ hours later.
Sometimes, what’s not there solves the case. 🪲🧩
