TGIF, but Y?

Trekking down from the mountain

Becca and I took a moderately-long hike west of Tortugas Mountain this morning.  When we were midway into the outback, while I was bending down photographing the unidentified yellow flowers below, we heard a distant voice calling out my name.  It was Gregg heading to the mountaintop.  How he spotted us I cannot say since we must have appeared to him as spots in the distance.  We did encounter several mountain bikers, one guy with a Husky called "Tyson" who Becca growled at for being overly cheeky.

Still haven't IDd this plant with delicate yellow flowers

I thought it was a type of Dalea, but I don't think so now

Devil's Head

This caterpillar-like critter seemed to have scales rather than "fur"
