Reddit user BonnieMcMurray shared a picture on the social media platform that confused people on the site.
At first glance it may look like a pile of dry leaves in the forest, but something else is under the surface in an optical illusion.
The poisonous snake is perfectly camouflaged in the picture.
She titled it “Find the copper one” and challenged them to look for it.
According to Live Science, copperhead snakes are very common in North America and are the most likely to bite humans.
They also usually grow to about two to three feet.
