"Bugs and Bodies" - Richard W. Merritt, University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University, is involved in the field of forensic entomology and assists police departments in crime scene investigations involving insects.

Merritt has a joint appointment in the Departments of Entomology and Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State. While much of his research has been on aquatic insects, in particular, black fly and mosquito larval ecology, he is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

This presentation is not for the squeamish!
