Translucent spots on Paph dorsal

[My Green Pets]

These unsightly spots appeared within a couple days of this flower opening and they are multiplying. They seem to be limited to the dorsal sepal. What on earth are they from? I never splash water on it as it's on the top shelf. I had the same issue on the last flower. Is something eating it? I haven't seen any critters...? Could it be fungus? Or virus? ???



Thank you!

Might out have gotten droplets on it before the bloom opened?

Those can be from mini bugs size of 2 millimeter or small cockroach. But for sure some bug it it.
AFTER YOUR ORCHID DONE BLOOMING REPOTE IT IF THE MEDIA STILL GOOD YOU CAN PUT IN A BIG BOWL AND FILK IT WITH HOT WATER LIVE FOR 20 MINITS SO ANY BUG OR EGG WILL DIE SPRAY THE ORCHID WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL AND RUB WITH A SOFT! TOOTH BRUSH GOOD LUCK

You can always spray but note that usually it won't effect eggs :mad: most of the bug spray use a toxic that effect the bug while eating and untill the eggs will hatch it will wear off. So you have to spray endlessly.

I would suspect low humidity or mild dehydration.
