Could there be two species that cause stripes on the thorax? I'm seeing 
both white stripers and yellow stripers on the same comb, with white being 
far more common. There are two species of Jewelweed, here in the North. The 
most common is Impatiens capensis. There is also Impatiens pallida, or Pale 
Touch Me Not.
