I agree! I edit or add taxon photos often, making sure that the first photo is the most typical of what you’d see in the field, and that later photos include diagnostic characteristics, a scale object, and multiple life stages if possible. People at all skill levels use those images constantly, and new users are often confused if the taxon photo and their specimen don’t match.
