Hi -
The picture is not as clear as I would like to do an identification, but I believe this is a native, cicada killer wasp. You can find details at this link - https://bygl.osu.edu/node/2192 (this is our Buckeye Yard & Garden Line newsletter at Ohio State University.
I encourage you to reach out to your local Extension office there in Morris County at this link - https://morris.njaes.rutgers.edu/
They will be able to get you a positive identity and help you with any other questions.
