Answer: CROP (DNA extracted from crop)

Explanation: "... when insects eat a specific food source, such as flesh, plant matter, or blood, they store this in their crop. By grinding the larva or adult insect up into a slurry, forensic scientists can analyze the composition of the food in the crop for chemicals and even DNA."
