Default really tiny orange eggs

I've owned a NoID phal for about 1.5 months. I haven't seen any pests on it. Today I was poking around in the moss that it's potted in, and I saw something (barely) move. It was tiny, and maybe cigar shaped (so tiny, I can't be sure, but I do believe it was oblong) and of indeterminate color.

After I saw it I poked around some more looking for more, but saw nothing. Then I remembered that I had a jewelers loupe. That's when I found them, armed with a headlight and the jewelers loupe, tiny orange eggs. I checked the leaves (top and bottom) and stem and blooms and moss and didn't find anything other than the tiny orange eggs in the moss. I half expected them to be false spider mites, I haven't found any mites on the leaves or stem or blooms.

I don't know if these eggs are old, dead or are new and preparing to unleash hordes of something onto the phal and the missus' desk. I'm pretty sure the missus wouldn't like that.

If you like sushi, they remind me of masago but obviously much smaller. I suspect it would be tough to round enough up to make sushi and I'm not sure they'd taste as good.

So, any idea what these are and what I should do about them?
