Because our Winter's is mild, cf Nth America, we get butterflies still now in early Autumn.

Everything "Down There" bites. I'm including butterflies until I hear different.
You silly boy! ;-)
Lots of things down here bite, but it is a big place, most people have to work at it to get bitten.
Spider bites and snake bites are not common.
Bites from European Wasps aka Yellowtails in USA are common, but they love modern human settlements.

I miss the colorful butterflies. Most of them I see in the city are the smaller white ones. I suppose man is to blame?
...who else?
Has to do with what they eat not being in an urban environment.
I am not so sure. A lot of city people have gardens. But also more use of pesticides.
...our weekend place in Santa Cruz is next to Natural Bridges State Park where they have a Monarch Sanctuary in a grove of eucalyptus trees.
When the temperature gets above about 65 degrees they fly off of their hibernation clumps in the trees and search for milkweed to eat.
Gorgeous sight seeing them all around.
But they are becoming endangered as there are fewer milkweed plants.
certainly don't see many of them - or many butterflies at'll - around SF these days.
