Try to visit your green house at night and try to look for things that might eat the buds :)

How are mocking birds getting into your greenhouse? It is an open structure? If an open structure then it could be just about anything that's doing the munching.

Is it just the buds or are leaves and/or roots also being nibbled on?

I don't know what kind of "green lizards" you have but some lizards do eat flowers/buds. Others eat only insects. Depends on what you have running around there.

I suspect grasshoppers, mice or voles. I do not know in which part of the US you live, but in most of mainland US lizards eat bugs and not orchids. Slugs and snails are always a concern unless you have baited for them.
