Fuzzy White Mass on Miltoniopsis
Default Fuzzy White Mass on Miltoniopsis

I have a fairly new Miltoniopsis orchid. It looks completely healthy and has 2 beautiful blooms, but when I picked it up to move it today I noticed it has a fuzzy white mass on an area of the top bark medium. It looks like a very fine layer of cotton, which is why I'm thinking it's mealybugs. Then when I picked up the pot, I saw the same fuzzy white stuff hanging from the bottom of it. Weird. The plant is in a plastic pot which is inside a clay pot, and when I took the plastic pot out to look underneath, there were a few tiny tiny bugs crawling at the bottom of the outside clay pot. Does this look like mealybugs, or something else? Maybe spider mites because it does look web-like? Also, would the best thing to do moving forward be to spray some insecticide? I have Safer brand Insect Killing Soap. I do not want to have to repot it so I'm hoping I can try spraying first.
