I don’t know why it is. But I think an indoor insecticide/ pesticide would take care of it

Hard to ID an insect without a picture of it (or even a description). Are the blurry black dots all over it insects, or are those some other leaf damage?

Insecticidal soap or horticultural oil sprays are broad-spectrum insect killers that should help knock back the population, whatever it is. But if they come back (which is not unlikely) you'll need to figure out where they're hiding (soil, parts of the leaf you aren't spraying, other plants, elsewhere in the house, etc) which is a lot easier if you can ID it.

An indoor systemic insecticide is another option but it might take a while since that looks like a pretty big plant (normally it's applied to the roots and has to make its way up from there).

It looks like black aphids.
Agree with everyone else, wash with high power and soap. Quarantine from other plants.

Honestly, the acts by orange Jesus over the past few days are truly appalling. If you’re sick, take some time off, no one is going to fault you. Take it serious.

I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing
