I did it for you

You go to the section in question (Lepidoptera in this case) and go to Images (it won't work in Browse or Info). You will see near the top: Move tagged images. That is all.

I know very little about butterflies, but maybe if you google: caterpillar sunflower foodplant you may find something.
