My female S. limbata laid her ooth a few days ago and had some residue stuck on the tip of her abdomen afterwards. I was really worried, but she actually cleaned it off herself! :)

 
Ouch.

That is exactly how a honeybees abdomen looks after it stings and then disembowels itself pulling away from the embedded stinger.
