Default Ctsm. Infected bulb/new root growth?

Hello...I have one and only one Catasetum which is a Rebecca Northen. I "think" it is doing "OK", but am not sure... I am going to post some pics. First I noticed this bulb that was somewhat blackish and mushy. Then I noticed it had a small hole it in, which appeared to have been chomped on by some bug. Then, I forgot it for a day and remembered yesterday. I checked on it again, and the bulb was blacker and there were little bugs crawling inside the hole GROSS!!!

I decided to remove the bulb. I don't know if this was good or not, but could not see any way to salvage it or make it healthy again. So, I removed and treated the wound with cinnamon.

I also wanted to see if the white roots were the new roots from the newest growth. It is comign along very slowly, so I am not sure. Also, should some of those roots be removed that are not white? Could the darker ones (not brown and mushy like most dead roots, but more off white) still be doing something? Any advice would help. Thanks!
