Carrion insects are insects associated with decomposing remains. The processes of decomposition begin within a few minutes of death.[1] Decomposing remains offer a temporary, changing site of concentrated resources which are exploited by a wide range of organisms, of which arthropods are often the first to arrive and the predominant exploitive group. However, not all arthropods found on or near decomposing remains will have an active role in the decay process.[2]
