When a thermobaric bomb detonates, the air ignites, pressure spikes, and oxygen vanishes — but some insects just won’t die.
🐞 Survivors of the Inferno:
- Cockroaches: Often survive initial blast waves if shielded underground.
- Dermestid beetles: Thrive on charred tissue — useful for estimating post-blast decomposition.
- Springtails & ants: In deep soil, they may outlive the surface apocalypse.
These survivors help reconstruct blast zones by colonizing remains and mapping survival patterns.
🧠 Forensic Fun Fact:
Post-blast insect activity can delineate boundaries of heat intensity — where life ends and survival begins.
🔍 On the Scene:
- Note which insects are present, absent, or partially burned.
- Their distribution may mirror blast direction, obstacles, or shockwave shielding.
Even after fire consumes the scene, life crawls back to tell the story. 🔎🪲
