Submission + - Insect murder scenes may help solve human murders
Matthew Sparkes writes: "A German photographer has found a way of getting the bugs killed by his car into a scanning electron microscope, revealing the wreckage of their tiny bodies in incredible detail. He found his driving speed was critical — between 70 and 90 km/h (42 and 54 mph) was perfect. Below that and nothing died, above it and all that was left was amorphous splatter. The work may be of use in criminal forensics, as bugs have provided useful evidence of a criminal's location in the past. But you're more likely to see the images again in an upcoming advertising campaign."
