Butterflies in Vienna

May 9, 2017 by Mike Powell

As I wandered through the Donau-Auen National Park in Vienna, Austria this past weekend I did not see any large butterflies, but I did spend quite some time chasing several smaller ones. The butterfly species appear to be somewhat similar to the ones that I see in Northern Virginia, but not identical, as was the case with the damselflies that I featured yesterday.

The top ones are speckled wood butterflies 🙂 The bottom one could be the green-veined white! We have them in the UK too. I was out chasing a few today 🙂
