I have searched and searched and searched. I've waited and waited and waited...
...for over 50 years in fact. I never ever thought that this moment would come. But now it has!
I now have a bottle of Moet & Chandon in my fridge and, when it is suitably chilled, I shall raise a glass to this amazing creature. I shall then raise another glass to mark the occasion: one incredible encounter, which has produced a moment of sublime happiness. I shall then raise a further glass to my Emperoring buddies (John Wiltshire, Richard Smyth, Mark Joy et al. and, especially, my son Elliott), who are all out there pursuing their dreams, hoping to capture a similar experience. And, lastly, (you probably get the picture by now!) I raise a glass to all of you and hope you have your moment like this sometime in the not-too-distant future, because if you are reading this you will no doubt realise what this moment means.
No more words; the picture says it all!

brilliant Toby, well done!
However, I am confused: is it not the iole which is the Holy Grail, never yet been seen?
This magnificent specimen still has tiny white spots, so is a lugenda: am I right?
