Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me with this.

My orchid recently had a black patch in the middle of a leaf, i had read that the best is to cut it off.
So i sterilized my scissors (only ever used for cp's and orchids) and sterilized in ethanol and then left to dry before using.

about two days later i noticed little bugs on the cut off area of the plant. I have attached a pic for reference.
Please if any one know what these are and how to get rid of them with out hurting my orchid that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
