If it’s an insect it’s probably mealy bugs. My hibiscus plant had this and it’s a pain in the ass to get rid off.
 
Tha ks. Yea looks like some insect . How do i kill it, without harming the bud.

Your plant looks pretty much fcked to me already to be honest. I agree with those who think scales or mealy bugs. You can try using a q-tip with isopropanol and wipe it off. But I would just throw the whole thing out. Moving forward treat with neem as a preventative. Not sure it works on those bugs but it works on a lot.
