At least it’s not the worst bug to have. You will have to treat it weekly for 3 weeks with neem oil.
Or you can take a-tips dips in alcohol and wipe each bug off with it. It depends on how big your plant is. You can also spritz the whole plant down with
1 part peroxide mixed with 4 parts water. You can treat the soil too with the peroxide mixture.
Or neem oil works too if you have it.
Just make sure you continue the treatment every week for 3 weeks.

Thank you Shannon @SuperbRaspfern and Judy @oldplantlady I have about 8 plants affected, I think the Pearl was the host of the bug party.
@FitSuriana85 Your welcome
