The Maggots from
Murders! kit is not merely a single case study or scenario, but an
unending series of cases which the instructor can alter from year to year.
Even with
just one blow fly species, suspects as well as time of death can change
by simply changing the life stage or stages recovered from the body, scene,
autopsy.

It is planned that once the Maggots from Murders! Species D kits are in use, other species kits will be developed. They will include green bottle flies, blue bottle flies, screw worm flies, and other taxa of the blow fly family Calliphoridae.
