Especially,member of Acari plays important role for determination of crime scene and timewhich is crucial for forensic science. We can cooperate with mites. The mitescontribute the humanity and they are first come alive organisms to the deadbody. In some cases,carcass can be occupied in a closed area and insects can not penetrate to body.Mites can help us in this type cases too. In such case, mites contribute tohuman, because they are continuously skin living organisms, especially Demodexspp. (Trombidiformes: Demodicidae) settled to the skin from borning to death.They can live for a period on body, after that they die. They can be used forprediction of crime time.Mites showtremendous diversity in different habitats and localities. Their species can bevarying from a room to another, even from upside to downside of a bed. Thesediversities can help us for find answers in forensic cases.In this study,we are focus on usage of mites in forensic sciences and why we should notoverlook mites as perfect hints.
