29.1 INTRODUCTION
Approved standards and practices are necessary for forensic entomology (Amendt et al. 2007; CINFSC 2009; Disney 2011; Villet and Amendt 2011; Tomberlin et al. 2012) because its application must be reliable in court (Disney 2011). Forensic entomology requires a template for collecting, analyzing, and reporting its evidence using common minimum standards and best practices that can be defended in court.
