A SPIDER is hiding in this optical illusion, but only those with perfect vision have been able to find it.
While the photo appears to be just a dirty rug, there is so much more lurking in plain sight.
On Reddit, a user posted a photo that said “Seen a spider run across my floor.”
The image was a closeup of their rug, with a spider that is almost invisible to the naked eye.
While it might seem simple at first, many people admitted to not being able to find it.
Anyone who wants to test their eyesight should see if they can spot the insect in 10 seconds or less.
For those looking for a hint, another user found a way to locate the spider in a pinch.
“The trick to these is to up the phone brightness and zoom directly into the center,” they said.
Do you think you can find it? Once you have your answer scroll down to the bottom of the page to get the results.
But before you go, see if you can find the mouse hiding in this black-and-white photo.
The puzzle was provided by Jagran Josh, where the puzzle showed a shed that was filled with malt sacks.
While the spider in this image is much more obvious than the last, many had an issue finding the rat.
The difficulty lies with the graininess in the photo, which makes tiny details easier to miss than in other photos.
On top of that, the lack of color allows for things to blend in, creating a difficult puzzle.
However, those who think they have stellar vision should be able to find the rat in no time.
Get your timer back out and see if you can find the rodent in under 7 seconds.
The science behind optical illusions
This brief explanation may help to unscramble your brain…
- Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us
- Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D
- It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous
- When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image
- Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat
- Different colours and light and dark can make the same sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning

Of all of the puzzles, the creepy insect is the best at hiding in its puzzle.
Only those with perfect vision can find him in under 10 seconds.
