I go for:

1 small
2 Essex
3 small
4 small
5 Essex
6 Essex

I'm not 100% on some but I won't say which!

:mrgreen:
I was wondering if any one else was feeling strong...?
I have:
1 - Small - Orange antennae tips
2 - Essex - Black....
3 - Small - Long sex-brand just visible and antennae tips ARE black
4 - Small - Curved sex-brand visible
5 - Essex - Black antennae and no real visible long sex-brand
6 - Essex - Female - Black tips

.....as usual, Guy does come up trumps!
