Entomology can help in many ways. The insect infestation on a human body is very well documented and can help date the time of death. Insects can assist in proving contact between individuals. Mosquitos can actually contain DNA for people that were at the crime scene.

Entomology in forensics is used to gauge the time of death of an individual. When a body decays it draws in certain insects which an entomologist can determine many aspects of, including maturity, larvae, and stages of development. This, in turn, can be documented in a timeline to determine how long a person has been dead.
