Forensic Entomology is another sub-division of forensic biology.

Forensic entomology itself can be sub-divided into three further disciplines of medicolegal/medicocriminal, stored product and urban. Forensic entomology is primarily concerned with the study of animal life.

Medicolegal / Medicocriminal forensics examines a wide range of criminal cases. For example, studying insect eggs on a dead body and comparing the findings to known patterns of insect behaviour can give a good indication of time and location of death.

Urban forensic entomology is generally more applicable to civil cases, i.e. examining pest infections and remedies when there is a dispute between a landlord and a tenant.

Stored product entomology is appropriate in cases of infestation or deliberate contamination of commercial food products.
