Hi Jamie, We sure have been appreciating your reports and the time you’re putting into Molt Search surveys this summer. It’s important work and we’re glad to have you part of the effort! I just wanted to send a note back on this one to let you know you did a perfect thing sending multiple photos like this, especially when you find lots of molts or have tricky lighting. So thanks for doing that and keep it up! You’re making our job easier over here with those and the helpful comments you add, too! For the future, your data will go even further with the addition of a object of known size for scale in your photos. Hands are a good start, but something like a credit card (with important numbers covered) is even better since that’s a standard size for everyone, regardless of ring size! -Lisa
