What are they? They seems to be sucking some 'juice' out of the flowers. I ended up cuttling all flowers spikes.

Sounds like thrips. They won't kill the plant, but they will absolutely ruin the buds and can keep an orchid from blooming.

I spayed the insecticide to kill them, then the color of the flowers seemed to bleached out. That's why I ended up cutting the spikes off.
