Can maggots withstand the fury of a thermobaric blast? Surprisingly… sometimes, yes.
🔥 Fire Meets Flesh:
- Thermobaric bombs generate 2,500°C temps — incinerating most tissues.
- But in shielded crevices or buried remains, larvae may escape total annihilation.
🧪 Forensic Clue:
- Surviving maggots hold DNA traces and help identify victims post-blast.
- Larval stage can indicate if death preceded or followed the explosion.
🕵️♂️ Ento-Facts:
- Insects often recolonize the blast site within hours.
- Their growth rate can expose post-explosion body movement.
In a warzone, even the tiniest survivor can speak volumes. 🪰💣
