	What is Forensic Entomology
		Forensic entomologists are also requested to examine the fragmented remains of insects that have impacted and lodged on the front fascia, windshield, and radiator of automobiles.
		Therefore it is important to recognize and properly document the natural artifacts that may occur from the presence, feeding, and defecation of roaches, flies, and fleas.
		Insects that feed on living, decomposing, or dried vegetable material are submitted to the forensic entomologist in an effort to determine the country or point of origin.

	Active Skim View of: HOW ENTOMOLOGISTS SEE THEMSELVES
		There were also three entomologists in the Center for Biodiversity at the Natural History Survey, at least one entomologist in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and rumor was that there was an entomologist cleverly concealed in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning in the College of Fine and Applied Arts.
		By the way, the central premise of this essay—that entomologists have until recently enjoyed a longer lifespan than most other people—is based on a distortion of demography in that average lifespans should be calculated from birth.
		Because it is impossible to identify at the moment of birth those individuals destined to become entomologists, average lifespan calculations are compromised; unlike the apparently short-lived European sovereigns, entomologists are made, not born.

	On Forensic Entomologists, Maggots And Murderers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Butler, a forensic entomologist with the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, has a sleuthing method that is as gruesome as it is effective: He studies insects that invade human corpses, and by examining growth patterns of larvae, obtains crucial information about the time and place of a human death.
		By using various data including recent weather patterns, indoor temperatures and the size of the larvae, he established that the three murders occurred at the same time, thereby defeating the defense's assertion that the killings were unrelated.
		Although forensic entomologists are most frequently used in homicide cases, they also investigate cases involving improper wound care, as in nursing home abuse or child neglect.

	NMSU Entomologists Release Foreign Mite to Control Bindweed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		LOS LUNAS - New Mexico State University entomologists believe a microscopic mite imported from southern Europe may substantially reduce the spread of field bindweed, an invasive plant that infests agricultural land throughout the state.
		Entomologists are carefully monitoring the sites where they released the mite to determine its effect in curbing bindweed and to measure how fast the mite spreads.
		Once the sites are substantially covered with mites, the entomologists plan to mow down the bindweed and spread the shavings in more areas.

		So far, the entomologists' expertise has been required in five local murder cases, the most recent in May. In at least two of those cases, their testimonies have been key in solving the case.
		Their painstaking precision is critical because a difference of 3 degrees in temperature could cause the prediction to vary by three or four days, Baxendale said.
		Because the partnership between police and the university has proven beneficial for both parties, the forensic entomologists are hoping to expand their training programs to reach police across the state.

	Entomologists amazed by new insect order from Namaqualand
		The formal description by entomologists of the fairly large, wingless creatures, which to the untrained eye resembles a cross between a grasshopper and a praying mantis, is the first description of an insect order since the discovery of ice crawlers (Grylloblattodea) in 1914, almost a century ago.
		Dr Eugene Marais (Windhoek Museum, Namibia) then alerted these entomologists to a similar specimen in his collection, and in February this year led an expedition to Namibia's Brandberg, discovering one of the specimens described in the Science paper, plus another spiny species (dubbed the "gladiator").
		Though it referred to the Namibian and Tanzanian specimens, Picker realised he and his students had frequently encountered the insects in South Africa.

	2001 good year for plant bugs, entomologists say (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		According to USDA entomologist Dick Hardee, plant bug numbers started low early in the 2001 season, but because growers weren’t able to put a lot of extra money into the crop, the resulting weedy fields provided an abundance of host plants for plant bugs to reproduce and thrive.
		Scott Stewart, an entomologist at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Miss., says, “It’s amazing what a difference 100 miles makes, because in my area pyrethroids are the material of choice for plant bug control.
		In addition, extension entomologists in Louisiana and Mississippi say they will probably add the insecticide Centric, at a rate of 3 ounces per acre, to their 2002 list of recommended plant bug control products.
