This is so uniform that it looks more mechanical to me. Just keep an eye on it... it'll probably be fine, but if you see the beginnings of rot or other issue you can treat accordingly, for for now not necessary to do anything except observe.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to be here.

That's a very interesting observation. It is a bit weird that it's only on that spot and it hasn't really gotten any bigger in the last couple of days. I will keep an eye on it and see if it grows.

I have also seen crickets do damage like this.
Hello, and thank you! I would say in my particular situation it's probably not that but it's very good to know!

Thank you for the welcome! This orchid is indoors with my other orchids!
