I agree when you look at them they certainly don't look like eggs. More like shrivelled up egg cases. I hate being conned
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

so, apparently the larvae are packaged in buckwheat husks and are so small, you can't really see them (sounds like the king's new clothes but what do I know )..if I want to see them, I have to tip the lot onto a white plate, put them somewhere warm and they will crawl about.
since the instructions say to place a couple of larvae on each plant that has greenfly  ???
anyway, will spread the rest around tomorrow and see what happens  :-\

As said earlier, if you're into predators,start early. But ot too early, or they will starve!

Suppliers like Defenders suggest a buy-in amount to cope with degrees of infestation.
