Possibly thrips… are they moving?

#### Moham svarade den 2024-06-13

No they are not ! I can't get them off when I touch them tho

It’s kind of hard to tell from the pictures…. Do they look silver? Is the plant indented like it’s starting to form a hole?

My leaves looked like this when I battled thrips and spider mites. I think it’s pest damage. I would examine under the leaves very closely. They can be hard to spot.

That’s what I was thinking

Could be mealy bugs put some rubbing alcohol on a q tip and see if it looks like they kind of dissolve. If they do, it’s mealy bugs.  
Whatever they are, in a spray bottle mix half rubbing alcohol, half water, and a few drops of liquid soap. That mix will kill anything! Also, I would quarantine it from any other plants.
