Colorado Potato beetles. Larval stage, and adult stage. I was hoeing in my garden today and found a couple adults already. Planted my potatoes a couple days ago, and they're not even up yet! Bugs must be planning on getting a head start... This is potato country, and although there aren't any fields real close, and those that are are just barely coming up.

Try whatever you got in the shed. Growers here are known to use a mixture of several insecticides, and rotate the mixtures in subsequent sprayings. I usually try not to use the chemicals until it is evident I can't keep ahead of them by daily inspections, picking them off, and disposing of them. Be sure to get the little yellow egg clusters under the leaves. Those bugs will infest other common garden crops too, tomatoes and zuchinni come to mind - so spray them down too.
