Many insect and animal feces contain different levels of acids and alkalines which will damage clear coat if left on for a very long period of time. In dealing with a spot like this, I have found that rubbing compound applied in a circular motion and rubbed at a pretty good pace (to build up a little bit of heat) will take it off. Most rubbing compounds are applied and then wiped off clean. Both rags you use to apply the compound should be cotton, or there are some specialty applicators found at auto parts stores like AutoZone or O'Reilly's.
Good luck.

Good old soap and water.What can I use to take fly feces off of auto paint?
windex and old news papers. 1 layer of the paper on top of the spots and soak it in windex, let it sit for a while and wash the car like you always do.
Car Wash then it kind of sounds dumb but toothpaste and a brush- works quite well I have used that many times
Use a clay bar. Available at most auto stores.

Soap %26amp; water wash first. (Use car wash soap; don't use dishwashing soap. Use a car wash sponge or fine wool mit. Don't use scouring pads or other coarse fabrics.
If it still won't come off, soak some terri cloth towels in hot, soapy water and lay them on the affected areas for 10 - 15 minutes. (Don't do this in direct sunlight or on a hot surface.) Most of the time, the bug reminants will soften and come off.
If the wet, soapy towels don't work, then you can buy some cleaning clay from your local hard parts or automotive paint specialty store. Two good brands are Body Magic and 3M. These products will also clean other contaminents like rail dust, overspray, etc.
Finally, you could use a fine hand compound or polish to refine the area and give it a cleaning and shine. My favorite product is 3M's Finnesse-It. It's expensive, but it's the best all-around fine compound/ polish by hand or machine out there.
