Abstract Despite its possible effects on the decomposition, little is known about the behavior and dynamics of necrophagous social wasps on carcasses. In part, this is due to the fact that the bibliography related to Hymenoptera in forensic studies is scarce. Some authors describepredatory behaviors of Polybia ignobilis Lepeletier, 1836 directed atflies on carcass; however, no studies were found that describe wasp scavenging behaviors in a systematic way. Thus, it is necessary to refine research on Hymenoptera in forensic entomology, aiming to obtain information that may be useful in the investigation of a corpse that may have been the victim of a crime. | |
