Yellow & Black Bug
Just took some photos of this bug and was curious as to what kind of bug it is. If you need to see more images I have a gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.com/andy.r.blank/SummerBug. Thanks for any help.

 
If would help if...
you added the sixth photo of your series to the BugGuide page. It is a more diagnostic photo, not to mention that it is just a great shot. Please crop it down to show just the insect though.

Also, you appear to have a Goldenrod Leaf Beetle (Trirhabda). See for reference. Maybe an expert could determine a species (I suspect it is canadensis).

 
Trirhabda adela
It appaers to be Trirhabda adela. Compare here: http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/prairieinsects/Coleoptera/pictures/G-Trirhabda%20adela.jpg
T. canadensis has a smaller squared black spot on the head.

How was it separated from T. virgata?
