Respuesta :

Yes, the deer was killed during the hunting season. The possible reasons are listed below using forensic entomology.

The study of insects and other arthropods for forensic purposes is known as forensic entomology. Insects are drawn to the decaying carcass from the beginning and may lay their eggs there. The forensic entomologist may learn a lot from the living and dead insects they find at the scene of a crime, including the time and place the crime occurred, whether drugs were administered to the victim, and in murder cases, the time since the victim's death and how long the body had been there.

  • First to appear is the blowfly, where we can only see pupal cases, indicating that the deer has been slain for more than 16 days.
  • Cheese skippers only have an impact when protein is decaying. The deer may therefore be killed during in the hunting season.
