Duplicate images

Hi, I just found this database while working on a visual search tool for plants. I started downloading a subset of your images and noticed that there are a lot of duplicates of one specific image for many plants. Specifically this image shows up on roughly 20-30% of the plant records I downloaded.
The image shows up under different URLs but the individual URLs show up on multiple different species. For example:

I was wondering if this is a known issue or even intentional?
