I believe this to be Peck's skipper (Polites peckius). Identifying these diminutive little butterflies can be quite the task as most of them are very small and drab brown. They also do not like to sit still. Skippers make up more than one third of all butterfly species in Ohio.
Without managing a photo (yes, I thank my wife daily), it is likely that you could see one of these little guys flitting about your garden and think you're looking at the same insect over and over . . . when the reality is that you could be seeing something new!
