use the clone stamp... select the colour as close to the spot as you can, and clone away! or you can use the healing tool as well.

Thanks Kirsty, the clone tool was giving me an unrealistic effect, that's why i asked, the heal tool was brilliant.

Use the healing tool (depending on what version of Photoshop you have) alternatively it can also be done easily in Camera Raw with the spot removal brush (B)

The non-destructive approach is to create a new layer, select that layer, select the clone tool, sample an area near the dust-bunny and then clone out the dust-bunny.

When cloning, Gregg, you may find it useful to alter the opacity. Sometimes you can use three or four dobs of 40% opacity instead of 1 dob of 100% to make a neater, less obvious job. Mix and match methods depending on what is working on particular shots.

yeah i alternate between the heal and the clone. it's trial and error

From memory, it's not possible to use the healing/patch tool on a separate, blank layer.

If I'm wrong about that, can someone clarify?

What Tony said. ;) It blends so much better and always choose a tool with a fuzzy/blended border not the sharp edges they have as well. It will blend in easy. With the sharp edges you are bound to see it.
