A COPPERHEAD snake lurking in plain sight is difficult to spot for even the most observant puzzlers.
Can you find the copperhead snake among the dead leaves?

The brainteaser was shared on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum, which has more than 723,000 members.
“Find the copperhead,” said the photographer as he posted under the handle Ammodramus_horridus.
The Redditor’s feet can be seen at the bottom of the photo, as he stands on a pile of dead leaves.
However, the copperhead snake is almost impossible to spot.
Only people with 20/20 vision can find the reptile in 30 seconds or less.
The challenge went viral with thousands of people admitting they had trouble finding the snake in the photo.
Many commenters admitted they were surprised the Redditor didn’t step on the creature.
“It’s crazy how well the danger noodle fits in,” one person wrote. “It took me a while to find it and that was zooming in.”
“I zoomed in and saw the eyeball,” said another. “I would have definitely lost my life to the dangerous noodle. I would have stepped on the fat thing.”
“From now on I’ll just assume that wherever I am there’s a copperhead somewhere nearby,” said a third.
“That’s some fantastic camouflage by Mother Nature,” said a fourth.
“Wow how the hell did YOU find that copperhead,” added another.
The copperhead snake can be easily overlooked because its color is almost the same as the surrounding leaves.
Everyone can see the moss growing on the tree trunk and twigs, while plants are shooting out of the ground.
Here’s a hint: the snake is in the upper right of the image.
If you need another clue, look at the snake’s head instead of its body.

One person said he was convinced there was only one dog in the photo after having trouble finding the other.
Another commenter admitted that he spent hours searching for the dogs and had to zoom in.
If you have trouble finding the dogs, concentrate on the rocky area with seaweed.

One puzzler admitted that he had never seen a creature that resembled the one depicted in the photo, while another was surprised that it was not a snake or a spider.
Its color makes the animal blend in almost seamlessly with the tree bark.
Tip: take a good look at the center of the tree.
