Evaluation of bait traps as a means to predict initial blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) communities associated with decomposing swine remains in New Jersey, USA

Recently, the field of forensic entomology has grown due to its importance in legal investigations. Typically, insect development in association with temperature can be used to determine a time of colonization (TOC) of human remains, which can then be used to infer a time since death [10]. Insects can also be used to provide information pertaining to body movement based on the geographical distribution of the insects collected from the remains [12] and can aid in cases of abuse or neglect in animals, including humans [7].
