The length or stage of development of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae may be used to estimate a minimum postmortem interval, often by targeting the largest individuals of a species in the belief that they will be the oldest. However, natural... Read More about The distribution of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larval lengths and its implications for estimating post mortem intervals.
