        abstract = {Forensic entomology, a critical subdiscipline of forensic science, involves the study of insects and arthropods associated with decomposing remains to assist in legal investigations. This review explores the development, methodologies, and applications of forensic entomology in estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI), detecting cases of neglect or abuse, and aiding in criminal investigations. It also highlights recent technological advancements and the role of DNA analysis, insect succession, and environmental influences on insect colonization patterns. The paper concludes with a discussion of challenges and future directions in the field.},
