The puzzle might come off unassuming but the butterfly’s wings blend in perfectly with the flower petals.
The artistic detailing that has gone into this illusion offers the perfect camouflage for the insect, as your eyes find it hard to focus on any one object.

And with so much pressure to deal with, you’re going to have to be quick-witted if you’re to stand any chance of succeeding.
If you’d like some help, try breaking the image down into several sections. Then, search each section slowly, one at a time, from left to right.
Here’s a little hint: the colour of the butterfly’s wings are pink.
The main thing you can learn from this puzzle is how your brain and vision coordinate.
It takes more than just looking for a simple object. It involves teaching your brain to recognise patterns rapidly.
