Looks like each orange colored dot is about the size of what would be a butterfly egg...that small. I have 8 plants in pots, 2 in the ground, and they are all showing signs of this on their leaves in varied amounts. The leaves that have the most are dying. I know, it is that time of year. This is my first season with them in 9B. for example, a leaf may have hundreds, and the leaf is all marked, yellow from a top view. within a few days the leaf seems to die and fall off.

I was worried they are a type of mite or bug (although I cannot see any moving.) Could it be a mold?

I have sprayed the underside of the leaves with organic dish soap mixed in a water sprayer. I just did this the other day for the first time. Am I wasting my time? Thoughts?
