    Nice searching, Brendon! And skillful ID! Just a reminder that adding something for scale in your future photos would allow us to add your efforts to the full Molt Search dataset, but even without one, your report is valuable data on the absence of green crab molts in Kingston that day. Glad to have you as part of the community putting eyes on the beach!
