Successional patterns of insect fauna on pig carcasses were studied in southwest Virginia. The objective was to identify and qualitatively assess the major taxa of forensic importance in this region. Studies were conducted in spring and summer 2001 and 2002, and fall 2002. Over 50 taxa were collected and identified. Phormia regina was the dominant fly species in the spring (>90%) and co-dominant with Phaenicia coeruleiviridis in the summer. Phaenicia sericata, Lucilia illustris, and Calliphora spp. were collected in spring and summer, but less frequently. Eleven species of Sarcophagidae also were collected with Sarcophaga utilis and Helicobia rapax the most common. In the fall, the dominant fly species were Calliphora vomitoria, L. illustris, and P. coeruleiviridis. The primary beetle species collected in spring and summer included three Staphylinidae (Creophilis maxillosus, Platydracus maculosus, and Aleochara lata) and three Silphidae (Oiceoptoma noveboracense, Necrodes surinamensis, and Necrophila americana). No beetles were collected in the fall.
在弗吉尼亚州西南部对猪尸体上昆虫区系的演替模式进行了研究。目的是识别并定性评估该地区具有法医重要性的主要分类群。研究在2001年和2002年的春季与夏季以及2002年秋季进行。共收集并鉴定了50多个分类群。丽蝇是春季的优势蝇种（>90%），夏季与青蝇共同占主导地位。丝光绿蝇、亮绿蝇和红头丽蝇在春季和夏季被采集到，但频率较低。还收集到11种麻蝇科昆虫，其中常见的是肥须亚麻蝇和嗜尸亚麻蝇。秋季的优势蝇种是反吐丽蝇、亮绿蝇和青蝇。春季和夏季收集到的主要甲虫种类包括三种隐翅虫科（大颚隐翅虫、斑隐翅虫和宽角隐翅虫）和三种埋葬甲科（纽约埋葬甲、苏里南埋葬甲和美洲嗜尸甲）。秋季未采集到甲虫。
