Optical illusions and mind-bend photos are all the rage on the internet.
And the latest viral photo is no different.
Twitter user SssnakeySci recently tweeted out a photo of a well-camouflaged snake among some shrubs and leaves on the ground.
Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: "can you spot the snake?" 🐍 pic.twitter.com/oVkjOm8ufy

The reptile's ability to hide in plain sight has bewildered those who have seen the photo as they search to identify the snake's location.
Can you find the snake?
SssnakeySci followed up with another tweet showing where the snake was hiding. You can see it below.
WARNING: Don't scroll down yet if you don't want to see the answer.
In the tweet, she identifies the snake as "Agkistrodon contortrix," or as it's more commonly known, a copperhead snake. It is venomous, so it's a good idea to avoid it when possible.
If y'all haven't found it yet... Copperhead, aka Agkistrodon contortrix. Cute but venomous, so no touchy! ☺️🐍❤️ pic.twitter.com/pSVMIhFP0o

This photo is as awesome as it is terrifying. Well, guess I'll be staring at the ground everywhere I walk from now on.
