What in the world?

Yes, I KNOW this is a succulent, but there isn't a specific place to post for succulents!

What are these white things all over my blue agave? They are only a few millimeters in size and are specific to the agave and it's pups in the area, even though it is intermixed with other cacti and succulents. They are very superficial, I can wipe them off and they reduce to nothing. They do not leave a mark or any evidence they have been on the plant. It is in full sun.

Thanks.

Looks more like dead aphids Or whitefly. Can you see any sign of legs, wings, segmentation on bodies, anything?
