After the initial decay, and the body begins to smell, different types of insects are attracted to the dead body.
The insects that arrives first is the Diptera, or Calliphoridae and the flesh flies or Sarcophagidae.
The females will lay their eggs on the body, especially around the natural orifices such as the nose, eyes, ears. If the body has wounds the eggs are also laid in such.
Flesh flies do not lay eggs, but deposits larvae instead.
After short time, depending on species, the egg hatches into a small larvae.
This larvae lives on the dead tissue and grows fast. The larva molts and violently eats until it' s grown and begins to wander. It is now in prepupal stage, but then it molts into a pupae and keeps the third larval instars skin.
Typically it takes between one week and two weeks from the egg to the pupae stage. Estimating time of death!
