You are making a major assumption here: that a computer can or will
somehow know more about butterflies and their environment than you do.
That might be possible, given enough data from someone who DOES know a lot about
butterflies, and geology, and meterology, etc.
You are highly unlikely to obtain all this information and
have it entered into your computer for free, of course.
In order to help with decisions in even a limited field (selecting a
small pet, for example) you are going to need a huge amount of data,
checked for accuracy. If it isn't accurate, your program will be
worthless (Google would be just as good) Achieving accuracy will be
expensive.
So you see, it's really not a programming problem.
