I think that was a good catch. It does look like your plant has bugs of some kind. I just read up on virus in Amaryllis in Veronica Read's Hipppeastrum book. Pretty scary, there are at least 3 different mosaic virus and tomato spotted wilt virus. They are transmitted by insects or by buying infected bulbs. Since there's no effective treatment, that's the last thing any of us would want on our plants. Good luck, hope knocking out the insects solves the problem.
