Dear Ken,
We are relatively certain this is a Mealybug based on this BugGuide image. According to the University of Wisconsin Master Gardener Program: “The citrus mealybug (Planococcus citri) is the most common species found on plant foliage. It feeds on a wide variety of plants, and especially likes soft-stemmed and succulent plants such as coleus, fuchsia, croton, jade, poinsettia and cactus. In my greenhouse I also find them consistently on rosemary, citrus, and bird of paradise. ” You did not indicate where you found it.
