Can anyone identify these pests on my calla lily? For context, she’s in a large terracotta pot on a west facing balcony in Southern California.

Can’t really tell from the photos, maybe mealy bugs or powdery mildew?

I just did some research and I’m pretty sure it’s mealy bugs. Thanks so much!!

i don’t think this is a calla lily, looks more like an alocasia or colocasia to me

Definitely mealy bugs! Little pests…. I’ve done a few things but what seems to work best for my plants is 1 part Castile soap, 2 parts water, and a little dash of cinnamon in a spray bottle and spray the heck out of the plant. It’ll kill the bugs but make sure you really douse the bugs and kill any eggs you see present

I am definitely going to try this. Thanks :)
