Beetles play a critical role in forensic investigations, even in the chaotic aftermath of thermobaric blasts.
🪲 Blast impact on beetle activity:
- Heat and shockwaves alter beetle colonization patterns.
- Some beetle species are attracted to burnt remains.
- Beetles help break down charred tissues, aiding decomposition analysis.
🔎 Forensic relevance:
- Beetle larvae stages assist in estimating post-mortem intervals (PMI).
- Species diversity reflects environmental changes from the blast.
- Beetles often arrive later than flies, offering extended forensic timelines.
🔥 Fun fact:
- Certain beetles can survive extreme conditions, making them reliable forensic markers.
Beetles remain vital silent witnesses, even in explosive crime scenes.
