I'd concur that this is a six-spot tiger beetle. Love to watch these little guys!

Looks like some species of tiger beetle to me, I'll look up some species and see.

I used to see loads of these as a kid living in Ontario, and to this day have wondered what these are! I hope someone can ID this, it will solve a long standing mystery for me.
