Reporters scattered across the Northwest for the series of reports called "Wildlife Detectives."

The radio reports are right here (scroll down), but there's a television component as well. 

And let's face it, beetles consuming flesh off the bone is a very visual thing (that happens at the forensics lab in Ashland). 

EarthFix reporter Jes Burns and TV Managing Editor/Producer Katie Campbell talk to us about what they saw, and how they bring it to TV.
