Huh? I thought Tangela also shows up in the patch of grass under Pallet Town.
Oh well, I caught him in the Safari Zone as well and I could post a pic of him in my box too.

Yours is a level higher. So you're one level less awesome.
Technically, he's more than one level less awesome, because Paras is part Grass, so it gets a defensive bonus against Water Gun and Bubblebeam. Butterfree has no such protection.
Actually, Starmie only used Tackle during the entire fight, and my Paras only knows Scratch and Stun Powder. So no elemental advantages/disadvantages here. And Sephiroth is right, a Butterfree is MUCH stronger than a Paras (twice evolved vs basic).
Who was more awesome again?
Actually, according to Bulbapedia, Paras has much more attack and a little more defense than Butterfree, while Butterfree has much more HP, speed, and special.
I know, when did I say attack was the only thing to be considered?
You sentence about "much more attack and a bit more defense" sounds like that. That's why I've replied.
Sp. Atk and Sp. Def is just "Special" status in RBY. They didn't split the two until GSC.
I think the addition of the Dark and Steel types, along with moves of the same nerfed them even more.
