Polistes carolina
Note the bubble of water in it's mouth.
This could also be Poliste rubiginosus. The two are impossible to separate without microscopy.
Thanks Francis!
Yasser, I wondered if the ooze may be connected with collecting & chewing the bark to add to a nest. The wonders of macro - I would never have noticed this with the naked eye!
