Could you possibly go back and take another picture but hold a piece of paper or something behind the object to be seen, to stop the lense from focusing on the background?

Spittle bug. Get rid of them before flower. Maybe cover the plant in some netting to keep them off. You dont want slimy buds. Gross.
