You need super vision to spot moth hiding on tree bark in 10 seconds

How good are your observational skills? Even if you think your eyesight is pretty sharp, you may struggle to complete this brainteaser that's left many scratching their heads. It involves finding the moth that's camouflaged against a tree.

While the task seems simple enough, there are several obstacles. For one, the picture contains a lot of tiny details that can distract your eyes. Secondly, the moth is a pale shade of brown that blends in well with the bark it's perched on.

So can you complete the test in less than 10 seconds? Set a timer and see how you get on. Only those with super vision will be able to complete the challenge before the time runs out.

If you are finding the challenge difficult, there’s no need to beat yourself up. That’s because moths are masters of camouflage.

Many of the insects have wing patterns and colours that closely resemble their natural surroundings, such as tree bark, leaves, or even lichen. These patterns break up their outline and help them blend in, making it difficult for predators (like birds) to spot them.

Certain moth species mimic other objects in their environment. For example, some look like dead leaves, twigs, or even bird droppings. This type of mimicry helps them avoid detection.

Over time, moths have even evolved to become even better at hiding. The peppered moth, native to the UK, became darker during the Industrial Revolution due to all the soot covering the greenery.

It's seriously impressive stuff! So if you're still struggling we have a clue for you. Try focusing your attention on the top right of the image. Have a good look – and stop your timer when you find the moth.
