    Thanks so much for taking the time to do a Molt Search, Megan! Your great overhead photo and spotless ID are a huge asset to this work! A reminder for next time to add something for scale beside your collection next Search to help make the most of your reports and keep our data quality high. We’re so glad to have you part of this effort! I hope it was a lovely time on the shore.
