    Thanks so much for taking the time to do some Molt Searches this week, Rhea! It looks like the tiny molts must’ve been hiding yesterday; what giant carapaces you found this time around in contrast to the diversity of sizes you found in Gig Harbor. Thanks so much for remembering to include those calipers for scale and great job on the Dungeness ID! When you’re able, including (in addition to what you’ve shared here if you have them!) an overhead shot with your full find in one image helps us keep the dataset consistent, but know that all of your walks are highly valuable and greatly appreciated in whatever form you’re able to share them! So glad you’ve joined this effort! – Lisa
