I noticed this little butterfly in my garden for the first time this year. Anyone recognize it? I didn't see it referenced in the usual NJ butterfly sites. Sorry that I don't have a better picture.

This is a day-flying moth, Pyrausta orphisalis, in the family Crambidae -

Awesome! Thank you for that. Day flying moths! Should have googled that phrase! It comes out as the third image.
