Help! I've looked high and low, and cannot seem to find anything that tells me how to include an image from commons into a Wikispecies article. I keep getting told it is possible, but cannot find a thing to tell me HOW. Please enlighten me.
Thank you all.

You do the same as you would for including a normal image. Just type [[Image:Image name.jpg|thumb|Caption]] on the article. As long as there isn't a local image of the same name, this should work.

Thank you! It works like a charm. It would appear that the key to making it work was the addition of the thumbnail spec in the syntax.
