The puzzle was shared on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum, which has over 676,000 followers.
“I finally have one!” said the photographer, writing LaLaJaJa2016 under the handle.
“Do you see?”
At first glance, the footage from the Redditor doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary.
Only those with 20/20 vision can spot an animal in less than 20 seconds.
Nearly 3,000 Reddit users liked the photo, with many sharing their thoughts on the creature.
“It’s so cute, I knew they came in tons of colors, but I’ve never seen one like this,” one person said.
“This is great camouflage,” wrote another.
“This took me very little time,” commented a third.
“It’s always snakes and spiders… I’m so happy to see this little man,” said a fourth.
“This is good,” added another. “It’s not super tiny or blurry or just impossible to find. But well camouflaged.”
The animal can easily be mistaken for being part of the texture of the bark of a tree.
Everyone can see how the moss grows because it is bright green, and the human hand also catches the eye.
Here’s a hint: the animal is almost the same color as the bark of the tree.
If you need another clue, look towards the middle of the photo.
