theyre on the main stem. my eyesight's not good enough to tell if they're moving or not. they look like skinny grains of rice.

They sound like aphids.

Ant eggs look like grains of rice and you do tend to get nests in greenhouses, well I do anyway. You would only seed the eggs if you have disturbed a nest.
