Well in the end I didn't get anywhere near devilfish 
If I had had him with me in Beijing to help me with IDs I would have beaten Vision I think but I'll settle for a podium finish (I hope).
Thanks to Thylo for organising this challenge. i would like to echo a general grumble that I think the taxonomic intricacy of this contest has detracted from it rather than added to it. I'm encouraged that next years may offer something a little different, although I suspect I won't be able to compete at nearly the same level due to more modest travel plans.
Happy New Year everyone! 新年快樂!
