#37 Flea beetle

I found this little (~2mm) beetle on the porch yesterday. I think it might be a flea beetle (Chrysomelidae: Alticini). It's quite a jumper. It nearly escaped by jumping out of the dish I had put it in.
The photo doesn't capture its stunning gold color.

I've seen many Seven-spotted Lady Beetles this year, no native species until today, when I saw two species: the two-spotted and convergent lady beetles. I found this two-spot on the front door.
