Guide to mustard species
I think I found a great resource for identifying species in the vast, confusing, and often misrepresented mustard family---

The 2nd/4th photos (flower against the palm of my hand) show infestation by some conspicuous black insects. I'd like to know more about these insects, but unfortunately it's not a very good view of them here. Still, somebody might have a good guess. Ideas?

gray-green, filigree leaves and really tiny mustard blossoms; perhaps they are just emerging

the first and only time I have run across this pretty mustard; seems to be quite abundant at this location.

A neat and interesting guide. I'm impressed that they grew all the species. I wish this had pictures of the plants in the field, though. The plants just didn't look like themselves out of habitat (i.e., somebodies lawn or garden).
