golden tortoise beetle — Charidotella sexpunctata
I'm no expert, but it seems like a perfect match. I want you to know that I know nothing about tortoise beetles, I simply used Bug Guide's browse function to find the species.

Wow, nice job
I did some looking too but came up short. Thanks. Looks like it has a plastic shield around its body.
