Catepillars can do that. It looks eaten (or torn off) to me.
Just recently I was delighted to see one of my Paph orchids spiking. It had been a while since it flowered so I was thrilled. I watched the spike grow. The bud was plumping. Then I looked at it one day and it looked like someone had taken scissors and cut the stem in half. I was heartbroken! I was trying to figure out what had happened...when I spied a tiny lil' worm. A green inch worm! That lil' bugger had felled my flower spike! Despite my crushing disappointment, I took it outside and let it go. I also felt a little better when I saw another flower coming up. It has since bloomed and is a beauty but it sure would have been nice to have had both flowers.
