Poecilocapus lineatus
Perhaps about a centimeter long, brightly colored, and extremely quick to hide. The nymphs look similar to the adults, but have a bit more red and are flightless.
I have found these on mint, coreopsis, sage, and various other plants. They do not seem to be very selective in what they eat.
The beetles leave unsightly spots on the leaves of plants.
