Janet Perry, 55, of Parker, Colorado, found a junonia on Feb. 7 at sunset near the Lighthouse Beach Park on Sanibel. She reported that her family has been visiting Fort Myers and the island for 20 years and she has collected shells during every visit. They recently became property owners on Sanibel. “This was my very first! So exciting to stumble across such a great find on the shore when I have been wading in at low tide for years to look,” Perry said. “Sanibel is a very special place to explore with friends and family.” She noted that her mother-in-law, who is also named Janet Perry, shells with her often and she had already found a junonia for her collection.
