Orchid has bugs?

I can't get a picture since they are so small, but I bought an Orchid a while back for my boyfriend's mother, she loves Orchids but doesn't know much about them.. She had a small orchid but it lost all its flowers this year, so I wanted to get her a big one hoping that it would be more established and would be able to live, but I know little about them, and I think I bought a bad one..

It was absolutely drenched when I bought it, and one day I was checking the roots/soil after doing a bit of research and then I found these TINY white bugs crawing around in the soil, I see less now that the soil has dried out more, I'm afraid to water it because I don't want the bugs to go nuts...

They are really tiny white bugs, I'm sorry I can't post a picture, they are just too small and would never show up.

The soil was VERY wet, Original pot still (It's blooming, and will be changed after the bloom, as well as the media) Will post a picture of the orchid in a moment.

If anyone can tell me what kind of Orchid it is that would be helpful too!
