Name this bug, anyone got an id for it.
Saw similar & they called it an 'agave mite', it collected on a white pot the other year, I've treated with some old- good stuff but wondered what it was, it was in my cactus house.
Only seen on three imported Japanese plants, old imports 10 years ago, maybe they have less resistance to Uk grown plants.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

It looks more like a chunky thrip larvae, didn't like alcohol

There wasn't any mobile bugs that I could see , just these what I thought were cases.
