When insects crawl along the corpses: how an entomologist helps to disclose crimes. Schwartz M.

Death is quietly buzzing. Flies make this sound, which in a few minutes fly on a fresh corpse. Insects for a judicial entomologist are not just crawling and flying the smallest creatures of nature, but the most important participants in various processes associated with life and death. In view of the unusual profession, Marcus Schwartz came across the dark side of society and the consequences of terrible events. In his book, he shares stories from practice and scientific knowledge about insects, tells how the world of insects intersects at the crime scene, and what conclusions a judicial entomologist makes from this. The background for his daily work is often far from the most pleasant paintings, but it is his unique specialization and deep knowledge in entomology that help to move the investigation to unravel.
