Hi everyone, I am wondering what kind of bug this is? I initially thought that it might be thrips, but after I talked to someone they said that they think it is white flies. Should I treat my plant to get rid of them? Probably, but I thought I would ask for another opinion (or a few) before I do it. (Ps the plant is a Euphorbia pulcherrima {poinsettia})

    I could be wrong, but those might be mealy bugs! I would give your plant a nice spray down with a neem oil solution, and a shower afterwards!

      I just bought some neem oil yesterday, so I’ll look into it a bit and probably try that, thank you!

    They do not look like mealy bugs. Best guess is white flies. Research how to treat them because it will take several treatments. From what I’ve read, I’ve never had them.
