Does this species
feed in the flower heads, by chance?
I was recently on vacation in Maine and came across an agromyzid in the flower heads of Doellingeria; the larvae made black puparia after emerging from the flower heads. Couldn't find anything in the agromyzid manual but did come across this post.

No, this is a leafminer
Hope you're able to rear those out--no doubt something interesting!

Cool
I don't recall see any leaf mines on the plants I looked at.

The flower head feeders produced a bunch of puparia and so I am optimistic about getting a male or two out of the deal, but we'll see.
