I'd take a chance on the repotting rather than keep the plant knowing there is some outsider lounging around in there! I know the rule is "no repotting" while the plant is in bloom but I repot every plant as soon as I get it, no matter what it's doing...and haven't lost one yet

Humm... maybe I will repot then
I can't stand the thought that they could end up living in my carpet or something!

Definitely not ticks! I would agree with the others in saying that they are mites. I would use Safer insecticidal soap as directed on the bottle.

I agree with D. I think it's a weevil, maybe a root weevil?

Root Weevils

Most commonly either two-spotted spider mites or red spider mites - same beast – are your problem
Hope this will help.

Hi Peggy! Thank you for the link! It helped me to identify the dark round beetle looking bug I have been seeing on a few of my orchids, which is the Oribatid mites!
