Description
Summary:Forensic entomology seeks to discover useful information to investigations through insects. Flies (Insecta, Diptera) play an important role in this field. This study aims to broaden the empathy for the insect and knowledge about forensic entomology through the language of an almanac made for this purpose. The almanac, which contains 20 pages, is targeted at the public of Elementary School and addresses issues such as the life cycle of flies and the usefulness of their biological information for solving crimes. It is a fun alternative to promote scientific outreach with interspersed stories and games.
