A preliminary geometric morphometrics assessment of two forensically important blow fly larvae in Malaysia, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart) (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

In forensic entomology, the age of blow fly larvae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) that feed on decomposing human tissues can be used as reference in minimum post mortem interval (mPMI) estimation. To establish mPMI based on larval age, it is important to correctly identify larva species based on their mor...
