The bulk update request #10147 is pending approval.

change category larva (1316) -> species

Reason: Other larval forms are species tags (caterpillar, grub_(insect), tadpole, etc). I think it makes sense to make the base larva tag also a species.

Also, tadpole should imply larva and larva shouldn't imply insect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva) but that can be for another BUR

Isn't this basically just "cub", but for creepy-crawly insects only?

A biologically speaking "larval" organism can be depicted as an "elderly" individual.

A caterpillar is visually very different from a butterfly or moth of the same species, we need the distinction.
