During summer season, a corpse was found lying in open with pupae of housefly on the body. This indicates the time since death would be approximately :
5 days
Forensic entomology estimates the post-mortem interval from the developmental stage of insects colonising a body.
In warm summer conditions a housefly lays eggs within hours of death, the eggs hatch in about 8 to 24 hours, the larvae (maggots) feed and grow for about 3 to 4 days, and then pupate.
So the appearance of pupae on a body in summer corresponds to roughly 4 to 5 days after death, whereas a single day would show only eggs or young maggots and longer periods would show empty pupal cases and adult flies.
Hence, 5 days.
