Spider Mite Damage???

[SteveM]

Hey All,

I am a newbie to the orchid world and have been bitten by the bug. I received an Aliceara about a month ago. It had some leaf damage. I looked for mites and didnt see any. Didn't see any pest and kind of thought of it as wind/environmental damage. The marking in the posted pics are on most but the newest sheaths. One leaf has it on the tip of the leaf whuch is gone, kind of looks like fertilizer burn. I did find what I thought to be a spider mite yesterday on it, was black and orange and very tiny, moved very slow. Wiped it off along with the rest of the leaves with alcohol. I have not seen any today nor any other little creatures. Resembled a mite under a magnifying glass. I did not see any webs but I read that not all of them spin webs. My concern right now if this is viral or fungal or any other disease, I have it on my deck under bright but non direct light. It may get 2 hrs of direct early morning sun. These lesions are causing the leaves to split. The leaves were like this when I recieved it, and has not gotten too much worse but seem to have increased. But that may just be my imagination. Any help would be appreciated. I have it quarantined from the rest of my other orchids which are in my greenhouse.
Any ideas???

Thanks all.
