Q.thread-like hanging on plant with pink lumps on thread. Is this some type of bug?
One of my indoor plants has a long cotton-like thread hanging from 2 of the leaves. There seem to be pink lumps on the threads. Is this some type of bug? Any treatment? The plant seems in excellent condition otherwise.

Without more information and a picture, I can only give you an educated guess. There are strange, parasitic plants called dodder. There are many types and their look varies but a common description is a thin, vine-like growth.
