BLOWFLIES
Blowflies are the first to appear
within minutes of death.
These insects start
as full adults who
quickly lay eggs in the
nose and mouth of a corpse.
.MITES + ANTS
Within 8-18 days later, mites
and ants arrive. They are often found
eating the unhatched eggs of blowflies.
.SPRINGTAIL + ROVE BEETLES
These insects arrive in 19-30 days
of a death. They are usually drawn
by the rich food source the blowfly
eggs provide, however some can and
will eat the flesh of the corpse itself.
.SPIDERS + WASPS
Soon after, spiders and wasps will arrive
to the corpse. The body has now become
a bit of a "feeding frenzy". Spiders and wasps
will eat off the the insects already present,
while the insects continue to feed from the corpse.
.VARIOUS INSECTS
As a body mummifies, or dries out, other
insects may show up. These insects include beetles,
such as the Saprinus Gilvicornis,
Necrobia Rufipes, and
Dermestes Maculatus.
