ID accomplished - MEALY BUGS! Eeeeeeeew!

What am I? This scaley little thing is all over my Passiflora - starts in the joints, then spreads out to leaves. It's white and powdery looking, but when you squish it or spray it, it turns red like it's bleeding. Doesn't seem to have bothered anything else in the sunroom, but the passi has it bad.

I'm trying for a photo, but not having much success.
