Ok, I guess that was just a hitch hiker then. Crawlers are usually not harmful to orchids. Webbing was most likely some kind of spiders that doesn't do any harm either, but eat other bugs on the plant.
Most large scale nurseris use systemic spray to keep problems down, but I'm surprised your plants came with bugs. maybe it was grown organic

If I were a snail and had the option, I would also go for amaryllis leaves over cymbidium.

Sadly there aren't very many vendors who have antelopes in the US. I amm forced to do much of my buying on ebay, and have generally had good luck. Sometimes you can get lucky at a show, but even there antelopes are few and far between. I have seen some listed at Orchid Trail and Clown Alley, and hope to try both soon. Haven't found much at any other vendors (think H&R had some though), all I can suggest is to check any vendor's sit you come across- they may not be listed as antelopes, so just look for dendrobiums. Maybe you can find insdividuals at your local society/on forums etc who can sell or trade you divisions also. Lastly, you rarely can find them mixed in with the NOID phal types at the big box stores and grocers. It's worth looking when you're there.
I hope that eventually one of the growers will see these threads and start offering some- you see tons in SE Asia/Oceania/Australia, but we can't get them here, and there does seem to be demand.
