Can you spot the poisonous snake lurking in the leaves?
It shows a harmless forest floor covered in dry leaves, sticks and pieces of green plants, but among them lurks a deadly snake, can you see it?
“The reason why you have to watch every step you take when you are in the woods,” the author of the publication wrote next to the photo.
The image left users scratching their heads.
“Based on this, watching your steps seems useless. Unless you want to spend an entire afternoon doing a very safe 50 foot walk,” wrote one person.
“You have to use your canes like the blind use canes,” another quipped.
“That’s why I wear closed shoes,” said another.
“You have to run and scream as loud as you can while in the woods. This will scare anyone,” wrote a third.
Look a little closer and you’ll notice the shape of the letter S on the left side of the yellow-green leaf in the middle.
The venomous copper snake has light brown triangles and is completely camouflaged by leaves.
It comes when a mountaineer filmed a “ghostly figure” climbing the mountain last month.
Thomas Swallow, 39, was walking ahead of his friends when he turned to see a figure hovering above the ground.
But actually he was looking at his own reflection in the Great End in the Lake District.
The phenomenon is a rare optical illusion known as a broken spectrum, where a large shadow is cast on a cloud or mist.
Thomas, from Manchester, said: “I was a bit taken aback. It’s really beautiful.
“It looks like a figure floating in the sky, it looks quite spiritual.
“It was a strange, surreal and really beautiful moment: I was looking at the ravine from the top, the sun was behind me and it was shining brightly.
“It was a cloudy day, so clouds were coming in and out of the top.
“I could see moisture particles in the air when I looked up and saw my shadow in the middle of the rainbow.
“I was in the moment and enjoying it thinking ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before’.”
