Dead fly on a fly swat, SEM
Dead fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an unidentified fly (order Diptera) that has been killed by a fly swat. Insects can help in solving crimes, an area named forensic entomology. The identification of flies found swarming around a dead body can lead to evidence based on the eggs laid on the dead body. Well-defined stages of the decomposition of a body, and the associated types of insect, help in estimating the time of death. Some insects are specific to certain locations and can be used as evidence for whether a suspect has been at a crime scene. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a dead fly perched on a fly swat, as seen through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the invaluable role that insects play in forensic entomology - the science behind solving crimes. Insects, such as flies, can provide crucial evidence when investigating crime scenes. By identifying the species and life cycle stages of flies found near a deceased body, forensic experts can estimate the time since death. Additionally, eggs laid by these insects on corpses offer valuable insights into decomposition processes. The magnified view showcases every minute feature of this unidentified fly from the order Diptera. Its vibrant colors contrast starkly against its lifeless form; an eerie reminder of nature's delicate balance between life and death. The crushed insect serves as a testament to human efforts in pest control and our quest for justice. Forensic entomologists also rely on specific insect species' distribution patterns to determine if suspects have been present at crime scenes. Certain insects exhibit location-specific behavior or preferences, leaving behind compelling evidence that aids investigations. As we delve into this microscopic world where decay meets scientific inquiry, we are left with profound admiration for nature's intricacies and humankind's relentless pursuit of truth within forensics research. This extraordinary photograph is not only visually stunning but also serves as a powerful reminder that even in death, tiny creatures like this fly continue to contribute to our understanding of criminal investigations.
