Keith Coleman, of Galena, Ohio, found two junonias on Sept. 6 at the Lighthouse Beach Park on Sanibel. Lisa Coleman reported that her husband had been digging in the water hoping to find alphabet cones, his favorite shell. Coleman was shocked when he looked down in his hand and saw he instead pulled up a junonia. Even more remarkably, after a few minutes of celebration, he pulled another shell from the water at the same location. They own a home on the east end, and Coleman has been on the hunt for the illusive junonia for four years. “He is now an elite and proud member of the double J club!” she added.
