We finally found the rare Junonia on one of our charters.   Ask anyone in Southwest Florida and they will tell you that the Junonia is the shell to seek.  Only about two inches long, the unassuming shell is ivory-colored with a pattern of brown squares encircling it. Although it isn't elaborate, like the beautiful Lace Murex, or large, like the conch shells, the Junonia is so prized that whenever someone discovers one their picture is featured in the local newspaper.    As we approached Lover's Key, Morris and I had a conversation about shells and shelling and what they might expect to find.   I told him about the I mentioned that the shell every die hard shell collector wants to find (many spend their entire lives trying to find one) is the rare Junonia.    Morris asked what they look like so I  handed him a picture of one that I have on a plastic shell identification sheet.   Now let me tell you that having shelled the area hundreds if not thousands of times myself, I did not think it very likely that Morris would find a Junonia.  But it was his Birthday!   After about 20 minutes of shelling, Morris said "hey Mark, take a look at this shell"  I was speechless as I gazed upon the Junonia he held in his hand!   It was faded and had a broken spot on it, and he said he was thinking about tossing it back to the sea before he asked me to take a look at it.   What a rare find!   One day, I hope to find one of my own.   Until then I can always dream!
