Forensic Entomologist: The average annual pay for a Forensic Entomologist in the United States is $87,877 a year (Ziprecruiter, 2025). They study the life cycles of insects found on or near a body to help determine the time of death, location of death, and even if the body has been moved, which could essentially provide great evidence in court. Forensic entomologists could work in law enforcement, medical examiners' offices, universities, and private consulting firms.
