Bug is near the top rim of the pot, kinda grayish.

I suspect that better photos will be required to identify your bug(s), but what you have shown looks like it's some kind of beetle to me. How long have you had the orchid and has any new potting media been used?

You may be able to edit this post to add the Insect Forum (among the Nature forums). A better pic would help.

Thank you for your responses! The bugs were so tiny and moving very quickly it was hard to get a good photo. I'll try to add to the insect forum. I've had the orchid for a couple years and no new media.

If you set the pot in a bucket outside and fill it with water up to the top of the soil mix you should be rid of them. Is this kept inside or out?

Thank you, I'll try that. It's kept inside. It's still a very small plant and I live in the Midwest where the weather changes too much for me to manage lol.

Murder one and take a photo of the body. :)

eta: not by smooshing. Dab it with rubbing alcohol or vodka.

...another way to get insects to sit still is to put them in a small container and then into the fridge or even the freezer. Then put chilled dark insects on a white background and take their picture. Or put light-colored insects on a dark background.

Thank you all for the advice. I will be trying to drown the bugs soon. Here's a potentially better pic. It can be zoomed in on.

Drown the bugs and Jane said. That is exactly what I do in fall before bringing all my plants inside.
