My friend has a burro’s tail that has “tiny bugs” in it. She cannot get a good photo of it to show here because they’re so tiny they look like dirt particles. She noticed them when she was watering it.

Though vague, any thoughts on what type of bugs pop up in succulents specifically? Any general tips for how to get rid of them?

Thanks, friends!
