I have never seen one this colour,  but I think this is a velvet "ant". But it's not an ant; it's actually a wingless, female wasp.  There are over 3000 species, so black and white is definitely a possibility. They do squeak when touched and try to get away.  But she does have one hurtful sting if cornered. 

You've captured her beautifully.
