 Forensic entomology is a field within forensics that uses insects to help solve crimes. Insects found at a crime scene can provide valuable information about the time of death, the location of the body, and the cause of death. This review outlines the steps involved in collecting insect samples from a crime scene, as well as the techniques used to identify and analyze them. Additionally, it suggests three levels of expertise for those attending a crime scene, ranging from the gold standard, requiring extensive training and experience, to the silver and bronze standards, which are more suitable for less experienced agents. These standards will allow agents to gather most of the necessary data needed by a trained forensic entomologist to accurately estimate the time of death.
