Chrysoperla rufilabris
Green lacewing eggs are easy to recognize. The eggs are deposited at the end of a long hairlike stalk which is attached to the leaf. This prevents the larvae from cannibalizing one another as they hatch. Lacewing Eggs Hatch into Lacewing Larvae can be used on a number of different plants and food crops such as cotton, sweet corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, apples and strawberries. The Green Lacewing Larvae offers natural aphid and insect control while being extremely cost effective! Perfect for gardeners who do not want to use unsafe chemical substances to handle pesky insects.

Very nice - I've only seen the adults so it's cool to see how they started off life!
Any place with aphids is good enough.
I dont have any oleander,but i think i pass by one in porto city,i have to check the place and stop to see near,in detail :)
Antonio,if you have an oleander tree,which has numerous Aphids on it,then you will find a lot of these. Once the eggs hatch,each larva eats about 600 aphids!!
wow thats a very cool cache PerilsOfPlastic :)
