 Hi-I'm wondering if I really just don't know what I'm talking about (now

 I finally got around to rubbing the little white things on the mandevilla and
 they're crusty!  Not unlike damp sugar crystals.  There are some small 
web-like
 things around some of the unopened blooms and leaves and also where the 
leaves
 and stem meet.  Nothing flying around at all. >>

Could they be Mealy Bugs? or some form of Scale insect.


Mealy bugs secrete waxy filaments.
