    Thanks for your report, Andy! Great idea using a car key as an object for scale when calipers or another measuring tool isn’t available. Having an item for scale helps us make the most of your reports and keep our data quality high. Happy Molt Searching!

    Thanks – I usually have calipers in my car, but this was an opportunistic molt search during a trail walking break! It was right outside the west mouth of the Lyre River.
