Well, found her on the driveway while I was filling up the lawnmower's tires...

South Jersey, a few days ago.

I found a C. Americanus dealate a couple weeks ago too... surprised me a bit as didn't think they flew this late. However wondering if the drought up here is messing them up. She had (and still does) another Camponotus head (no body) biting down hard to one of her antenna. She definitely had a rough night.
