Sumario:This work aimed to discover which are the scavenger insects in the Paraná northwestern region and verify how cadaveric decomposition occurs in this place. The information is part of a project, approved by the animal research ethics committee, under development at the IFPR campus Umuarama.During the study, a pig cadaver weighing 10 kg was used as a substrate, which was placed in a cage with a screen to prevent entry of invertebrates. Insects were collected using a modified trap.The metal cage containing the substrate was fixed on the IFPR campus Umuarama grounds. The decomposition process was completed in five days, which may be due to the high temperature and low humidity levels observed at the site. During this period, four stages were observed: Fresh; Emphysematous; colliquative and skeletonization. Regarding insects, five Muscidae species were collected: (Sarcopromusca pruna; Musca domestica; Hydrotaea aenescens; Sythesiomyia nudiseta; Stomoxys calcitrans) and six Calliphoridae species (Cochliomyia macellaria; Chrysomya albiceps; Chrysomya megacephala; Lucilia eximia; Lucilia cuprina e Hemilucilia segmentaria). Specimens of Stomoxys calcitrans may have been collected due to the presence of beef cattle close to the site. These data reinforce the importance of building a database that can be useful for future investigations.
