@farfallastanca submitted: Hello!! This is the first time I'm doing a submission so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I saw this fuzzy fella while I was picnicking at the shore of the New Danube in Vienna. I don't know if you know European insects, but I wanted to try! It was a pretty tepid day, starting out at 22° Celsius and getting warmer throughout the day, but this was on the first of October, and I didn't think I'd see many butterflies anymore. He was flying pretty wonkily and stopped on my lunchbox but he was looking weak so I gave him my half-eaten cucumber. Despite the poor service, he seemed to like it and after a while he flew away on his own!

Yep, you submitted correctly! I do know a lot of European insects, but I can always track it down even if I don't know it offhand. This little fella might've been at the end of its natural life given the time of year and the wonky flying. But that's okay, they likely already mated, and that's their one job. At least they got to enjoy part of your picnic! Bet they enjoyed having a lil cucumber sippy.

They're a blue, probably in the genus Polyommatus, and most likely a common blue, Polyommatus icarus, though there are a few very similar looking species in your area.

Butterfly and wild heather.

There are like five nearly identical species with ranges that overlap the Dronningsstien area so I can't say with 100% certainty which one this is, but thinking it's probably Polyommatus icarus, the European common blue butterfly.

Zoomed-in butterfly pics under the cut.
