Generations of entomologists have realized that not only the flies, but also the beetles found on corpses tell a story. Beetles are tends to be associated with the later stages of decomposition process, which is very important in terms of dry bones of the body. they are generally found on corpse when it is more decomposed and their investigation has enabled scientists to determine the time of death of corpse, PMI (Post mortem interval).the diversity of beetles found on a body changes over time and can therefore provide evidence of ecological succession.
