A forensic entomological study conducted in an oil palm plantation in Tanjung Sepat,
Selangor, Malaysia on 3 August 2007 revealed that a housefly, Musca domestica Linnaeus oviposited
its eggs on a freshly dead pig. This finding indicated that housefly might play an important role in
forensic investigation in determining post-mortem interval (PMI), although it was not yet found
in human corpses or any animal carrion. This preliminary paper presented a first record of Musca
domestica eggs found on animal carcass in the country.
