ABSTRACT
Evidence from medicocriminal entomology can affect investigative or legal proceedings in various ways. Oral and written anecdotes pertaining to insects may be useful as investigators piece together a present or retrospective look at pertinent circumstances. Occasionally, insect evidence may lead to other lines of investigation, which in turn may reveal the truth. Insect-derived data may simply corroborate other real or testimonial evidence. In fact, litigation seldom turns solely on insect evidence. Sometimes it does.
