Experimenting with extracting and using data.

Spent a few hours this weekend looking into how to use MySQL in conjunction with WordPress to extract useful data from a .csv file downloaded from the project. Here are two pages of a list of butterflies and the plants they use, and another of a list plants and butterflies observed feeding.(Of course, the data set should probably be increased by a factor of 10 or so, but this is a small step.)

Note - there is a taxa issue with Sleepy Orange that needs to be resolved. The two pages can be seen here:
