elitebettas, From your description my RHS Pest and Diseases Book indicates that they could be ORIBATID MITES. There is quite a lot of stuff on the internet about them and also seems to be a connection with orchids.

I put in a search for orbatid mites on orchids - One result had some really good photos for ID purposes, but I don't think I allowed to post the link here as it is to another forum. (although the format is strikingly similar to Orchidgeeks).

If Fred wants to me to mail the link he can take a look???
