Same individual as previous. Efferia? Nerax? I see red on legs, noted here. But don't know if that is enough of a key.

It is Efferia
And it is female. And depending on the size it may be E aestuans. I don't remember if NJ gets an Efferia in the Pogonioefferia group otherwise.

Thank you, Herschel,
for the quick and helpful response. You have given me the crucial handle to do a little more background reading and Internet surfing.

Gracias!

PS; don't remember the size. Photo from last fall. Will measure a Sedum leaf (shrub it's perched on) for relative size and maybe come up with a guess.
