# Two part question: what is the stuff on the leaf in the left picture?…

_Posted by Lynda on 2025-06-13_

Two part question: what is the stuff on the leaf in the left picture? And if you look closely, what are the teeny white bugs on the plant in the right picture? I did notice that they’re able to fly. TIA!
