project fly

​

Introduction

This project aims to develop research on changes in bloodstains at crime sites caused by hematophagous flies. The research is already under way in the south of the Brazil (State of Paraná), through the student Ivana Popovicz (Uniguaçu / PR), and has presented very promising results already in the first experiments. The research has the technical support of the Criminal Expert and Bloodstain Pattern Analyst Antonio A. Canelas Neto (IABPA Full member 3,950), the Forensic Scientist PhD Sergio Túlio Jacinto Reis ( curriculum )  and the Criminal Examiner and forensic entomologist PhD Janyra Oliveira of the Coast ( curriculum) .

​

Objective and motivation

This research seeks to understand the behavior of these insects in a crime scene and which sites are most likely to form illusory bloodstains, and which may lead to the error of interpretation of the examiner (Criminal expert), since these stains_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_produced artificially by flies closely resemble spatters produced in criminal acts such as the impact of a firearm, for example. The objective of the research, then, is to better understand the behavior of these insects and their places of action, besides better recording the most common characteristics of these illusory spatters  ( see more ) .

​

crowdfunding donations

The amount collected will be used immediately in the costs of obtaining the camera with a macro lens for recording and archiving the bloodstains generated, as well as the acquisition of video cameras that also film the behavior of the insects in order to subsidize further research in the future More ahead will be used to extend the experiment with other environments like an experimental house, creating a line of institutionalized research in the subject at this same university or other research centers in the country. We estimate the value of $12,000.00 as a value that can be obtained to obtain materials beyond the extension and maintenance of the research line at a first moment.
