Positioning of images

Hi, can anyone assist? I can't work out why the images in this article don't appear to the left of the species box? Even if you specify 'left' they appear left and below the species box, next to the references. The pictures logically belong in the 'Description' section. I tried making a multiple image box, but it also appears at the bottom of the article, next to the references. When I compare to other articles, Cypripedium calceolus and European robin both have pictures to the left of the species box.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Regularuk (talkcontribs) 15:10, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ophrys insectifera

Ophrys insectifera, the fly orchid, is a species of orchid and the type species of the genus Ophrys. It is remarkable as an example of the use of sexually deceptive pollination and floral mimicry, as well as a highly selective and highly evolved plant–pollinator relationship. The plants use scent that mimics female sexual pheromones to attract male wasps, which pollinate the flowers while attempting to mate with them. It is classified as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but considered to be vulnerable in Great Britain. This o. insectifera orchid was photographed in Niitvälja, Estonia.
