This bug is on all my orchids!

Hello,

It is monsoon season where I live and grow most of my plants in s/h. Today, while watering my plants, I noticed a tiny tiny bug, not more than 2mm in size running around the roots of my Phalaenopsis.

I found the same bug crawling around one of my tolumnia's rotting roots.
I also noticed some webbing on the roots. I managed to take it out and click some pictures.

What is this insect? Will it damage my orchids? If yes, how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for your advice.
