So spotting them can take some time as your eyes try to adjust to the colors and textures.
But hidden somewhere in this enigmatic image are three venomous copperhead snakes waiting to slither through the leaves.
We challenge you to locate three snakes before the ten second time runs out.
The venomous reptile is known for their effective ability to blend in with their surroundings, making them nearly impossible to detect.
The image went viral on Reddit and left puzzlers scratching their heads for a solution.
Since then, it has garnered over 50,000 upvotes and over 1,500 comments from confused viewers.
One person wrote: “Wow my poor eyesight would have never seen them before it was too late lol.”
Another joked: “Or maybe you could tell us where you are and we’ll never get there?”
And a third commented: “Copper snakes are the kings/queens of camouflage.
“I grew up in Georgia and they still surprise me with one or two every year. Some look like a new coin and some are just as perfect as the leaves that surround them.”
But don’t worry if you’re also having trouble spotting them, because we’ve got a solution below.
Copperheads are commonly found in the southern and eastern regions of the United States and have bodies that range from dark brown to coppery gray.
Given how widespread and populous they are, the species is responsible for more venomous snakebites than any other in the United States.
They can also tolerate living in developed areas and terrain, making interactions with humans more frequent.
Reptiles can measure between two and three feet in length, although there are records of individuals over four feet in length.
Although venomous, copperheads are generally non-aggressive and bites are rarely fatal.
Have you managed to locate them all?
If you focus your eyes on the center and bottom of the bark, you should be able to spot something suspicious in no time.
