frass (FRAS) - n., insect excrement.


Or in the terminology of our household, bug poop. Also, the debris left behind by insects as they feed -- which is, actually, the original meaning in English, taken over from an edge sense of German Frass, derivative of fressen, to eat/devour (used of animals).
