Hi All,
Hoping you may be able to help a beginner house plant gardener identify what are (hopefully not) some new-found pests on a couple plants. I was looking through my plants today and noticed on one that right at the stem where a new leaf is growing, what appear to be a bunch of clear-bodied bugs. These appear much larger than spider mites, and aren't red, but I did notice a couple webs strewn about but thought originally that it was just a house spider.
I also noticed on a new plant that was given to my girlfriend a bunch of white flecs of what I can't distinguish between dust or seedlings, or perhaps dead bug bodies. Photos of both down below. Hoping that you can help me ID what I'm looking at! Plants have been taken outside away from my other plants for now.
Original Plant (with the bugs on the stem):
