Help! This morning I was going to mist when I noticed this little guy. I don’t know what it is, could it possibly be thrips? If so what should I do \&\& how can I get rid of them! Anything helps!!

It looks a little bit overwatered.

I don’t see any pests. Need a better picture or an arrow pointing to it.

Flick it off out a door if it’s a beetle. Many are beneficial. Try dabbing it with alcohol of a swab if it’s a mealybug. Neem oil and insecticidal soap can help if there are many.

How’s This? It’s as close as I can get without the picture looking too blurry

Looks more like a mealy bug, I'd take a q tip dipped in alcohol and wipe it off. Do check around the plants if there's more though! I get horrifying nightmares of mealy bugs in my roots lol

Oh god I didn’t know they could also get in the roots, I have clear plastic pots so I’m gonna have to take a look! Should the alcohol be enough? I did take a look around the but seems like it was just that one, I did have it around my other plants, should I keep it separated for a while ?
