===Mock crime scenes=== A valuable tool that is becoming very common in the training of forensic entomologists is the use of mock crime scenes using pig carcasses. The pig carcass represents a human body and can be used to illustrate various environmental effects on both arthropod succession and the estimate of the post mortem interval.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Schoenly KG, Haskell NH, Mills DK, Bieme-Ndi C, Larsen K, Lee Y | title = Recreating death's acre in the school yard: using pig carcasses as model corpses to teach concepts of forensic entomology & ecological succession. | journal = The American Biology Teacher | date = September 2006 | volume = 68 | issue = 7 | pages = 402β410 | url = http://www.nabt.org/sites/S1/index.php?p=2 | doi = 10.1662/0002-7685(2006)68[402:RDAITS]2.0.CO;2 | access-date = 1 April 2008 | archive-date = 2 July 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220702194633/https://nabt.org/sites/S1/index.php?p=2 | url-status = dead }}</ref> Pigs are the most frequently utilised model in an attempt to gather data regarding forensic experimental analysis. The latter is highly proportionate to human nature due to our overlapping characteristics with the mentioned species. These interrelated components include: subcutaneous fat stores, skin thickness, range of adult body mass, hair covering, and omnivorous diets.<ref>{{cite book | veditors = Pokines JT, Symes SA |title=Manual of Forensic Taphonomy |publisher=CRC Press |year=2013 | isbn = 978-1-4398-7843-9 }}</ref>
