Does anyone have an idea on what these white specks are on the backside of my Angel Wing Begonia?

hard to say from these photos but i’m erring on the side of ”you don’t want them, whatever they are”

any signs of stress? yellowing leaves? crispy leaves? webbing? does this live indoors or outside?

It looks perfectly healthy! They almost look like small sugar granules or something. And it stays indoors!

yeah they almost look like something laid eggs…i’d get a qtip with some alcohol and dab them away \& keep my eyes peeled for a reappearance
