I can't tell, its blurry but are they in your plant? Or is that just a straggler?

#### Jae 🌼님이 2024-09-12에 답변했습니다.

It was crawling on the leaves and around the pot

Is it just one bug? I'm thinking its just a bug from outside and not a pest untill there are more than just one bug

Yes I’ve just seen the one

It’s on the big side, but looks like a mealy bug.

#### Jae 🌼님이 2024-09-12에 답변했습니다.

I thought mealy bugs were more round in shape, this bug had two segments

#### allie님이 2024-09-12에 답변했습니다.

Agreed, I don’t think it looks like a mealy bug
