I searched it up and it says it can be a sign of mealy bugs so maybe figure out what kind of pesticide will get rid of it

Neem oil is good to use after to make sure bugs don't come back

It kinda looks like a piece of a dried dandelion that flies around to spread its seeds. Is it by any chance an outdoor plant? Is it easy to detach it from the leaf?

I use this on all my plants to prevent it from getting anything
