Everyone can see the leaves but you have 20/20 vision if you spot the creepy crawly in under 5 seconds
YOUR mission is to spot the creepy crawly hiding among the leaves.
You can’t miss the vegetation, but you might overlook the spider.
But there is not enough time for reflection in this brainteaser.
The clock is ticking and you have just five seconds to find the arachnid.
Should you be successful in this game, then congratulations, you have 20/20 vision and a high level of visual acuity.
However, those with a spider phobia might consider this a task too far.
This eight-legged creature is mighty big.
It is a Huntsman spider and one of nature’s biggest arachnids.
The clue is in the name: this guy is a predator and moves fast to snare its prey.
Imagine one of these scuttling towards you at double-quick speed.
If this isn’t enough to have you running for the hills, then what will?
It’s the stuff of nightmares for anyone with a spider phobia.
There’s more to strike horror. They are long-legged and have a leg span of 5.9 inches.
Their prey is typically other insects like moths, cockroaches, caterpillars, and other spiders.
In this game, the scene is a forest floor, the background occupied by moss-covered rocks, fallen leaves, and twigs.
This creepy crawly blends in effortlessly, rendering it almost impossible to see.
Its camouflage abilities might cause concern for anyone who wants to give these guys a wide berth.
You might be on top of it before you see it, which gives some cause for alarm.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions

- 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.

We’ve gone for another wildlife-themed game for the next task.
This one is another predator from the animal world.
But unlike the Huntsman spider that uses speed to attack, this guy ambushes its prey.
It’s the praying mantis and it is hiding among the leaves.
You have 12 seconds to locate it and if you are successful it means you have a good level of vision and a high IQ too.
You are going to need every inch of your observational skills to beat the clock.
The average person gives up after a minute and it’s no wonder.
If you thought the first challenge was hard, the stakes have been upped in this one.
A praying mantis is an extraordinary creature, its body mimicking its natural surroundings.
Therefore, it blends into the background seamlessly, rendering it almost impossible to see.
It’s only fair we give you a clue for this task. Divide the picture into four quarters.
Focus on the top right quarter, then look hard in the bottom left of that area.
You may be able to distinguish the head and long limbs of the praying mantis.
If this is a task too far and you are ready to throw in the towel, the solution is below.
