I appreciate everyones suggestions. I apologize if I lead you down the wrong path by leaving out critical info.

See my response to Linda. I think they were water droplets in the image background, not on the lens. They were not present before or after.

Not bokeh.

I see these types of water reflections and relative sizes when cropping into a small insect from within a large image frame. As suggested above, their removal (cloning) is easily done in either LR or PS. You just need some practice with the tools and most efficient method.

Bleirer gave information about tools to use. I have most experience with the lowly clone tool. I was taught to zoom in significantly, and work on small areas with a soft brush and at lower opacity. The lower opacity is similar to painting a wall: multiple thin coats preferable to thick slabs

I tried bleirer's patch suggestion, which worked better than I was able to do with spot healing tool. I'll give this a try too. Thanks.

The spots are far too big to be sensor spots. The most likely answer, as suggested, is OOF bright points of light in the background, probably water drops catching the sun. I too would recommend careful cloning with the clone tool in Clone mode, not Heal mode. If cloning on its own doesn't work well enough, do the cloning before the brushwork, not the other way round. Cloning over areas that have already been given adjustments via a brush can produce funny effects.

I think it is

The one off the left wing is almost certainly a growth on the tree—I suspect it’s a bud or some kind of bug’s temporary home. The reasons I think so are the relatively smooth, cleanly colored green center dome and what seems to be a collar of small leaves wrapped around its base. The one by the left antenna looks like a ghost of the other one (all white), the dome already gone, leaving just the tight bundle of small leaves.

If you find out for sure, I would be interested in knowing.

A reflection coming through the lens and ended up a part of the image. It appears small so I am taking a flying leap here and say you were stopped way down on your lens, F11, F16, may be?
Healing brush in Photoshop will take care of it.
In the future when stopping down or not, watch and see if a bright area of intense light is entering your lens from in front of it. A lens shade of shading the lens with your hands may also be effective preventing this problem.
It is not dust on your sensor or a problem in your lens. Relax.

I happen to agree with Linda from Maine I don’t believe that you have sensor spots what should have been asked is take a photo of a plane white wall are the spots still there or do the spots show up in other photos? The spots in your butterfly shot is out of focus bright artifacts behind your butterfly. If you’d like them out or your image simple cloning will get rid of them.
