Probably no value to speak of. In order to properly identify stamps like this you need at least check the perforation. Also, sometimes the fact that there is a watermark or not is important, but in this case that is pretty hard to establish.
As for the "bug" we would need a much better scan, much more close-up. From where I am it could be part of the cancel, or an inkspot on the original printing?

Not that flyspecking does not have its place, but the card is postmarked Yosemite, so ...

- any chance that is it a picture postcard of the park?

- any chance that the date relates to an important event at the park?

- have you searched for information on the addressee?

Cheers,

While a nice image, where might we be looking at for this 'bug'?

If you talk about the spot on the forehead, you seems to have the same type on the cover.
