We Often Watch Silent Witness,

where the team sometimes extract a minuscule piece of evidence,

so I was intrigued when I read that authorities in Fuzhou, East China’s Fujian Province managed to bring a burglar to justice, by analyzing the blood stain left on a wall by a squashed mosquito, according to Global Times, investigators found leftover noodles and cooked eggs in the kitchen, blankets and pillows taken from the wardrobe and left on the bed, burned incense sticks, all clues that whoever broke into the apartment spent some time there. So when they saw a dead mosquito and two bloodstains on one of the walls, they decided the blood was worth analyzing,

DNA tests showed that the blood belonged to a man surnamed Chai who happened to have an extensive criminal record, 19 days after the robbery, Chai was brought in for questioning and confessed to the burglary, as well as three other burglaries he was a suspect in. He is currently being held in custody pending trial, what a great script for a episode of Silent Witness, but I have to say its seems almost unbelievable!
