1. what are some of the challenges in determining the time of death using insects? type your response here in paragraph form (at least 5-7 sentences):

Insects are used in forensic medico-legal purposes and this study is called forensic entomology. The most commonly insects are used for the estimation of the time since death.

When the person dies, the body starts to decompose by microorganisms  fungi and bacteria), followed by the action of insects. There are a few stages of decomposition (determinated by different insects) and the speed of this stages and the whole process generally depends on many factors such as body size and weight, place where the body is buried, clothing..

Limitations of this method are:

•Weather (e.g. in winter, there are only fewer insects present, so decomposition is slow or stopped)

•Time-it is hard to have immediate results

•Drugs in the body

•Different kinds of treatments (like freezing, burial or wrapping).

There are many challenges some of them would be if the body was buried or placed in a cool or cold environment which would slow down or completely stop decomposition. Another challenge would be if the body was burned or soaked in a flammable liquid, this would damage the body.
