Abstract

Forensic entomology is
a science that enlightens post-mortem interval, body relocations, type and dose
of narcotics that cause death via biological features of insects. The
entomological fauna of the crime scene should be known in order to do all these
studies. Different methods are applied on the purpose of collecting insects in
fauna studies. The most known method is the basic meat bait trap method. The
blowflies, enter basic meat bait trap for feeding and laying eggs, can escape
consequently the count of samples may be insufficient. It is examined in our
study that the effects of chemical meat bait traps, which are prepared with
thiamethoxam and basic meat bait traps on insects. Traps were hung at the trees
1,5m above the ground at 10m distances in the garden of Ankara University
Forensic Sciences Institute at 8 a.m. on the first Monday of each month for
eight months. Totally we collected 1894 species during the study period. Of all
these species, 1787 (94,35%) were obtained from chemical meat bait traps and
107 (5,65%) were obtained from basic meat bait traps. The number of species
collected from basic meat bait traps was considerably higher. The results of
this study will help researchers to save time. In addition, it should be kept
in mind that thiamethoxam is a poisonous substance. Laboratory accidents did
not occur during our study.
