Oops.
What was I thinking? The flower is Dwarf Cinquefoil (Potentilla canadensis), not buttercup.

Thank you, Yurika!
I took the liberty of checking your profile. I found the understatement of your brief biography fascinating: "I'm just a bug geek house wife from Japan! (married to Jersey man)" Well, "just a bug geek"? No need to qualify that, given your massive number of contributions to BugGuide! Just "a housewife"? Being that and a bug geek is also quite an accomplishment. And from Japan, living in New Jersey. Well, there's a story to tell! As a thank you of sorts, please enjoy my Air Line Trail web site, spanning 18+ years and nearly 24,000 photos. General nature photography, but many insects included, taken in central Connecticut. https://www.performance-vision.com/airline/
