    Thanks for submitting your first Molt Search, Lydia! Plus this bonus opportunistic add on! Your photos are so clear, your ID’s are spot on, and your comment was great help. You’ve added valuable info to our dataset on juvenile Dungeness and green crab presence/absence through your efforts yesterday! I hope you had a nice time out on the beach. Great to have you part of the community keeping an eye out on our local shorelines! Happy Searching!
