Blowflies and wrapping paper are both commonly associated with decomposition - blowflies aid in the decomposition process by feeding on decaying matter, while wrapping paper is discarded and decomposes in the environment.
Tissue paper was first created in the 19th century, with early versions being made from recycled paper material. It was initially used for wrapping delicate items and later became popular for gift wrapping and crafts. Today, tissue paper is mass-produced from wood pulp and used widely for various purposes.
Instars are developmental stages between molts in the life cycle of insects. Blowflies have three instar stages before they pupate into adults: first instar, second instar, and third instar. Each instar represents a different developmental stage with specific characteristics and requirements for growth and development.
Tissue paper typically ranges in thickness from 10 to 35 grams per square meter, which is much thinner than regular paper. It is often used for wrapping gifts, stuffing packaging, and crafting due to its delicate and lightweight nature.
Blowflies are useful to forensic entomologists because they are among the first insects to colonize a dead body, laying eggs that hatch into maggots. The development rate of blowfly larvae is well understood, allowing entomologists to estimate the postmortem interval based on the age of the larvae. This helps in determining the time of death in forensic investigations.
The most common fibers used to make paper are cellulose fibers from wood pulp, which can be obtained from softwood or hardwood trees. Other fibers, such as cotton, hemp, and bamboo, can also be used to make paper. Recycling paper also involves using recycled paper fibers as a source for making new paper.
