Everything uploaded to Wikidata can be shown easily on wikis with wikidata-powered templates (euwiki, cawiki...)
I made a simple user script for Commons that allows you to import iNaturalist images from within a Commons category or gallery page (whichever one is associated with the Wikidata item for the taxon). To use it, add the following to your common.js page:
mw.loader.load( '//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kaldari/inat2commons.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );
Then clear your browser cache and go to a Commons category or gallery page (for example, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Synemosyna_formica). If there's an "iNaturalist Import" button by the page title, you can click it and it will load all the free-license iNaturalist images for that taxon (up to a certain amount). Let me know what bugs you find (pun intended).
I have cleared the cache many times and nothing. Even with your example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Synemosyna_formica
@Theklan - I forgot to mention an important detail. In order to use the script, your account has to have the upload_by_url right, which is grants to the following user groups: autopatrollers, image reviewers, patrollers, and administrators. Sorry I forgot about that.
