Beetles, especially carrion beetles, play a crucial role in forensic investigations—even in the aftermath of thermobaric blasts.
🪲 Blast effects on beetles:
- The extreme heat may reduce initial beetle presence.
- Some resilient species arrive later to clean up remains.
- Beetle succession patterns shift in disturbed environments.
🔎 Forensic insights:
- Beetle larval stages help confirm PMI estimates.
- Blast debris can alter typical beetle activity and timelines.
- Recognizing beetle species is key for accurate case analysis.
🔥 Fun fact:
- Some beetles possess heat-resistant exoskeletons aiding survival near blast sites!
Beetles reveal secrets even in the most extreme forensic scenarios.
