请问这两个句子有什么区别?

Clusters of tiny insects called aphids were to be found on the underside of the leaves.

请问这两个句子有什么区别?
这是散文作者利用语言的多变性赋予句子一点诗意.他想说的是could be found(可能有也可能没有),但是这样说太枯燥,并且和前一句were beginning to wither没有呼应.写成were to be found,就和were beginning to wither并列起来,而且三个w (were,wither,were)给人一种韵感.一定不能写成were found(被发现了,即一定有,每片叶子下都有),那样恐怕不符合事实,并且一点诗意也没有了.
