You should use .insertAfter(). This will insert the selected element after each img.

$(".wf_captionfirst").insertAfter($("#articlespace img"));

If you want to insert at one img then you could use pseudo selectors;

$(".wf_captionfirst").insertAfter($("#articlespace img:first-of-type"));

or specify by ID or Class;

$(".wf_captionfirst").insertAfter($("#articlespace .imageContainer"));
$(".wf_captionfirst").insertAfter($("#articlespace #imageContainer"));

insertAfter doesn't duplicate the element IF there is only 1 target. Demo:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".move").click(function() {
    $(".moveMe").insertAfter(".A");
  });
});
.A {
  padding: 40px;
  border: 1px solid blue;
}

.B {
  padding: 40px;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

.moveMe {
  padding: 2px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  margin: 10px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<button class="move">Move</button>

<div class="moveMe">
