Tiny black dots/bugs on Phal flowers
Question Tiny black dots/bugs on Phal flowers

I picked up this phal a couple of days ago at the local grocery store. It looked pretty healthy for being at a non-plant centered store. I have a soft spot for these phals I guess

Once I got it home I noticed these incredibly tiny specs on the flowers moving around. There were maybe three or so. They don't really look like thrips, as they are not the right shape. That is if you can really tell when they are this tiny. I also don't know if they are spider mites, as I do not see any webs, and it seems that they are only on the flowers.

I just haven't seen these before, and I cannot find them on Google. I am taking them off as I see them with rubbing alcohol. I've only seen them twice, and like I said, it was only two or three at a time.

I've attached some pictures of the plant. It doesn't look perfect, but it looks pretty good for being from a regular store. I haven't repotted it yet, but the roots do not seem to have any rot or anything. The bugs aren't in the pictures, but if there is any noticeable damage it will be. Just figured someone might have an idea.
