FlyEvidence is a professional Insect Identification Service based in Midlothian, Scotland. Our service is focused on accurate taxonomic insect identification, commonly to generic or specific taxonomic levels, but occasionally only to the family level as required by the context of the contract.
Linked directly with the insect identification service, is provision of biological and geographical information concerning the identified species. In forensic instances, this includes estimation of the post mortem interval, using established mathematical procedures. FlyEvidence operates a 24 hour forensic response for crime scene recovery.
FlyEvidence maintains a professional standard of identification and all formal contracts made with FlyEvidence carry the highest level of confidentiality. FlyEvidence makes no prior judgements and expert witness services are supplied without bias for defence or prosecution.
FlyEvidence also provides a search service and data mining consultancy through which subject searches can be carried out for clients needing accurate and up-to-date biological and biomedical information. Outputs are printed full reports or electronic hyperlink formatted documents listing the most appropriate data on the subject category searched under.
