After a thermobaric explosion, the devastated landscape becomes a unique habitat for certain insects—especially mosquitoes that thrive in stagnant water created by blast craters. 🦟🌊
Forensic entomologists study these mosquitoes to:
- 📅 Estimate the time elapsed since the blast by analyzing their life stages (eggs, larvae, adults).
- 🧪 Detect chemical residues absorbed from explosive materials in their bodies.
- 🔬 Identify changes in the local insect population that hint at environmental impact.
These tiny creatures offer big clues about the explosion’s timeline and intensity, helping investigators piece together the event’s aftermath.
