Everyone can see the petals, but you have 20/20 vision if you can spot the spider hiding among the rocks in 19 seconds
SEARCHING for a tiny creature in this outdoor brainteaser might have you between a rock and a hard place - literally.
You have just 19 seconds to spot the small spider hiding among the stones and claim brainteaser victory.
The clock is ticking to find the insect in the optical illusion posted by Redditor Less_force_1504 and confirm you have 20/20 vision.
It might be easy to see the pink-colored petals sprinkled around the sea of multi-colored rocks, but the white spider is doing a better job of hiding himself.
Don't give up just yet - keep scanning the scene.
It's not easy considering there are so many crevices in the white, brown, and spotted rocks for the creepy crawly to blend into.
Keep looking up and shift your gaze towards the middle.
You're almost there.
Now go a little more than halfway to the top and zoom in closer to the right.
See the white rock in the middle of the scene?
Focus your eyes on the longer white and black speckled rock to the right of it.
There he is - our little spider friend is trying to fool predators, but he can't outsmart you.
Found him? Congratulations!
You have 20/20 vision.
If not, don't fret, it was a tough one.
People were amazed at the challenge.
"If you didn't say it's a white spider in the title, this might have been the best one I've ever seen," wrote one user.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
- Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
- Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
"That's some intense camouflage," said another Redditor.
The creatures are, after all, professional hiders.
A particular type of spider found in China even took their hiding skills to a whole new level, according to New Scientist.
The species was said to have "evolved" into a flower to blend in better.

If you're ready to test your skills again, you can now look for another small creature, but this time, it will be under the water.
Somewhere among a crowded party of octopi in this optical illusion is a tiny fish.
Think you're smart?
Prove it.
You have ten seconds to spot the creature and show you have high IQ.
It's not an easy one.
The fish is hiding among a sea of fashionable octopi, some of which are even decked out in top hats and bows.

Found him?
Good job! It wasn't easy, especially considering the eyes and mouth are the same colors as the octopus.
