Answer 1

Blowfly adults looking for a place to lay their eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

Blowfly adults are attracted to the gases and fluids of a dead body and usually lay their eggs on a dead body within the first two days after death.

The eggs then turn into larvae then enter pupal stages and then become adults themselves. Forensic entomologists can determine how long a body has been dead by the stage of development of the blowfly with the ambient temperatures that have been present.
