Leaves less glaucous and more veiny than what I think of as m. Ciliata? Less clumped?

along the Bridger ridge above the Apron, Bridger Bowl ski area, Gallatin County, Montana, United States (Google, OSM)Kuvaus
Common along the Bridger ridge on limestone and especially at treeline in crevices and among talus. The involucre is mostly absent and the involucels are present but not uniformly developed. The petals are whitish with a distinct but faint yellowish tint. Where abundant, Musineon co-occurs with Arabis nuttallii (Arabis bridgeri). This site lies along the Bridger ridge above the Apron, Bridger Bowl ski area, Gallatin County, Montana.

Asplenium resiliensHavainnoija

This is likely a small specimen of A. resiliens, but I've never seen one this small with leaves this short relative to their width.
The only other option seems to be A. trichomanes, but I've never seen this in person.

Another tiny Asplenium sp. that may be A. resiliens, but just doesn't look like it to me. Like the one I observed higher on the ridge above this canyon, it had mature sori.

Thousands of individuals. I think this most closely resembles Monarda pectinata. Positive ID to come later.

Badly broken.
I found this bug struggling on the side of the highway, so presumably it got smacked by a vehicle at high speed.
