Forensic entomology is the study of the insects associated with a human corpse in an effort to determine elapsed time since death. Forensic entomology was first reported to have been used in 13th Century China and was used sporadically in the 19th Century and the early part of the 20th Century, playing a part in some very major cases.

Forensic entomology is the science and study of insects and other arthropods with law-related applications. It can be divided in three subfields: urban, stored-product and medico-legal/medico-criminal.

Urban forensic entomology typically concerns pest infestations in buildings or gardens that may be the basis of litigation between private parties and service providers such as landlords or exterminators. Such questions may include the appropriateness of certain pesticide treatments. Civil law actions and litigations involving athropods in dwelling or as house and garden pests are included in urban forensic entomology.[1] Sometimes used in stored products cases call in to help determine(chain of custody). Chain of custody is when you go back through all points of possible infestation to determine who is at fault.[2] Stored-product forensic entomology is often used in litigation over infestation or contamination of commercially distributed foods by insects.[1]
