    Thanks for taking the time to do a Molt Search and sending in such wonderful Dungeness measurement data! I wanted to confirm that the ruler on the side of your clipboard is in centimeters. This would be a more helpful scaling item rather than the airpods case, since the cases vary in size. Glad to have you as part of the Molt Search community!
