Blowflies are often the earliest insects to arrive at a body, even in thermobaric blast sites.
🪰 Impact of thermobaric blasts on blowflies:
- Shockwaves may disperse adult flies temporarily.
- Heat can delay egg-laying behavior.
- Blowflies adapt quickly and resume colonization soon after the blast.
🔎 Forensic significance:
- Larval development stages help estimate time of death.
- Fly colonization patterns can be disrupted by blast debris.
- Blowflies provide essential baseline data for post-blast forensic timelines.
🔥 Fun fact:
- Blowflies can detect buried remains thanks to their sensitive antennae!
Blowflies remain key forensic allies, even in extreme explosion scenarios.
