Bald-faced Hornet - Dolichovespula maculata

Bald-faced Hornet - Dolichovespula maculata
2 km N of Valeport, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 16, 2016
Size: 16 mm
This last shot: after taking photos, I put the Hornet into a plastic clear bottle and took it to the edge of the campsite to release it. The bottle had been clean. Upon returning after releasing the hornet, I found this in the bottle. This MAY be hornet poo? I have no idea, or whether or not anyone would care. If this is totally useless info, frass it. Thx.
