  In the diagram below is shown first day of the test in which arthropods taking part in the decomposition process were collected. Species quoted are the most important ones, due to the fact having been found in corpses largely, feeding on dead bodies or both reasons. It is shown by seasonality, areas (shaded and unshaded). In colour, the decomposition stage of carcasses.
