That’s an adult female Mealy bug! And it looks like she’s carrying 2 eggs sacs. That’s as code red as it gets. Kill it and make sure there’s no more. Because mealy bugs are one of the hardest pests to get rid of fully.

  Thank you! i moved the leaf around to see if there were more and it seems she fell and i haven't seen her since, not sure if she was dead and rolled off

  I’d still go on that hunt. That mom is a ticking timebomb! And if she has egg sacs then she’s ready to lay them down soon. It’s better to confirm she’s actually dead or nowhere near your planter. Because if she’s not she will drop those eggs and start a mealybug generational destruction on your plant. And those can last for months. You’re lucky to have spotted her at that stage. Most people don’t find out until it’s too late

Isolate the plant. Mealy bugs are a menace! They quickly colonize and spread.
