Could this possibly be Homoeosoma ardaloniphas or H. deceptorium?

On the way back from the Indian Creek Ranch gathering, I did some blacklighting around the north entrance of San Angelo State Park -- dry, hot, and windy, but lots of bugs still came! :)

Not even sure I have this in the right family. Can't believe I can't locate the ID given how distinctive it is!

Hairy Lettuce (Lactuca hirsuta)Observer
gcwarblerDescription
I was expecting this to be L. ludoviciana, but the plant has deeply pinnitifid upper leaves with narrow winged, non-clasping bases, which points to L. hirsuta--much less common. Plants of this species were often bitten off--deer browse I assume; I only found this one with an intact inflorescence.

My last hike on the morning of April 16 was out in the desert flats near the Dog Canyon trailhead (or overlook?).
This image is cropped from a larger view of a "bouquet" of desert flowers. There's also a bunch of Cryptantha (small white flowers) behind the flax and a couple of Nama flowers in the lower right.

Can't find anything like this one on MPG. The closest are Homoeosoma electella, Atascosa glareosella and Rumatha polingella, but none of them looks right.
