As of 2010, this technique had been shown to work effectively on a wide range of forensically important metal surfaces including iron, steel and aluminium.

This species is forensically important because it is often associated with dead bodies and carcasses.

Protophormia terraenovae is forensically important because of its extremely specific developmental time.

Creophilus maxillosus is one of the many forensically important insect species commonly encountered during crime scene investigations.

One other insect that is forensically important is the beetle, known to provide clues to the degree of exposure the body has experienced.

Since C. megacephala has become forensically important, knowledge of development rates for these blowflies has become a necessity.

The larval dispersion patterns of C. megacephala also make it a forensically important fly.

This discovery is significant because it shows the importance of regional classification of forensically important insects.

There are many techniques currently being developed to differentiate between the various species of forensically important insects.

The various measurements and observations when compared to standards for forensically important species are used to determine the species of the egg.
