Good news! she layed eggs and now she is caring for her own brood. By the way how do you take a picture in google photos because I'm on monitor.

When do Camponotus Penncilvannicus have their nuptial flight(s)?

April–July (and sometimes early September); next spring you should have a pretty easy time finding one.
