leptinotarsa decemlineata
About 3mm long. Yellow/off white & black striped carapace. Ornamental antennae and red head, pinkish thorax.
This looks like the potato bugs (leptinotarsa decemlineata) I've seen in our garden. Only offsetting thing, though, is it's "collar" - which is white (not orange with black spots). Best of luck identifying, and nice capture, I find it difficult photographing live insects. :P
