Is this a Mealybug and if so, how do I kill the little ***?

lol, poop happens, especially in orchid growing...you invest so much money, and time (years sometimes!) and emotion in growing and developing them....it can be heartbreaking....just a note on the insecticides (jeez, I am stuck on that subject!)....the 'stink' in a chemical IS NOT THE CHEMICAL, NOR IS THE STINK TOXIC! the manufacturers ADD the stink to the chemical to let the user know the chemical is present! the actual chemical has no odor...the stink itself is not toxic, lol....so don't worry about that harming your dog.....good luck!
