Help pest or mesophyll collapse?

[LizB88]

Thank you, I did check the other orchids and sprayed them as a preventive method, so far no signs of having them on other plants.

This is the first time for me dealing with mites, and it seems that they are worse to get rid of then aphids. I'm fighting them too on my lotus plant's!

And this morning I found one of my cats nibbling on my first Dendrobium, "Spring Dream Apolon" got it as a b-day present. She went for the new leaf. So I don't know who will be harder to combat, the mites, aphids or my cat!
