# I need help identifying a bug. I’ve been lucky not to have any…

I need help identifying a bug. I’ve been lucky not to have any infestations on my first year of indoor plant enthusiasm but recently got a plant infested with spider mites. Now I found this one on my angel wing begonia. Google image search was all over the place. Is it a thrip larva?

Uhg idk but the app told me my new plant had them but app I see is tiny black dots that don’t move. I got her on line and she was rather under the weather when I got her and I’ve babied her in every way possible and it’s just getting worse!!
