Unraveling the temporal tapestry: Exploring the intricacies of the calliphoridae life cycle on vertebrate corpses
Authors

Abstract
The Calliphoridae family,
commonly known as blowflies, plays a crucial role in forensic entomology,
specifically in estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) on vertebrate corpses.
This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the life cycle of
Calliphoridae species, shedding light on their biology, behavior, and
significance in forensic investigations. The life cycle stages, from egg
deposition to pupation, and their interactions with the decomposing remains are
explored in detail. Additionally, factors influencing the development of
blowflies on cadavers, such as temperature, humidity, and geographical
location, are discussed. This paper synthesizes existing knowledge and
highlights current research trends, emphasizing the importance of accurate
entomological data in forensic science.
