Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C
Explanation:
Forensic entomology studies the developmental stage of bugs on the dead body which help in the estimation of the time of death.
The entomologists study the time of hatching of the eggs and then studying the developmental stages from pupa to larvae and then to adults as the time period is regular for the insects.
Since the female hatches the egg which turns into the first instar in 23 hours after laying eggs at moderate temperature, the second instar after 2 days and third instar after 3 days which starts to crawl and on the 8th day becomes a pupa.
This shows that deer died at least 72 hours ago and thus Option-C is the correct answer.
The option that is correct about how long ago the animal died is C. The deer died at least 72 hours ago.
From the information given, the temperature has been around 27C and after the insects on the deer were studied, there was C. macellaria at 2nd and 3rd instars, and S. bullata at the 3rd instar stage.
Based on this information, the third instar is after 3 days. Since there are 24 hour in day, 3 days will be: = 24 × 3 = 72 days
Therefore, the deer died at least 72 hours ago.
