Urban
Hemimetabolous development: egg - young __________________ - later __________________ - adult
Nymph
Insect/anthropod species that feed directly on remains
Necrophagous
Holometabolous development: __________________ - pupa - larva - adult
Egg
Blowfly larva undergo 3 stages of growth termed __________________
In stars
Species whose presence can only be accounted for by chance
Adventive
Post mortem stages (__________________ and late) are used for PMI estimation
Early
The hardened outer skin of the last larval stage
Pupa
A factor that can alter insect __________________ patterns
Temperature
The middle phase of ametabolous insect life cycle
Young
Non-fly indicators of PMI
Carrion beetle
Stored product entomology deals with __________________ issues
Biosecurity
Metabolic activity in a maggot __________________ raise temperatures
Mass
Species that feed on both decomposing remains and carrion insects
Omnivorous
Insect __________________ describes the orderly and predictable progression of insect colonisation
