part 1: comprehension questions 1. what is the primary role of a forensic entomologist in a death investigation?

They can also provide information about the location of death and any movement of the body.

Answer:

To estimate the post - mortem interval, determine the location of death, and detect any movement of the body by studying insects present on or around the body.
