YOU must be a genius if you can find the hidden butterfly in this latest optical illusion.
Puzzle solvers have been challenged to crack this challenge in less than seven seconds.
Everyone can see the beautiful flowers in the picture, but there is a butterfly secretly hiding in between – can you spot it?
You must bring out your best game to crack this challenge, otherwise it will leave you pulling your hair out as you race against the clock.
It is indeed one of the toughest brainteasers ever created – and you may end up losing your mind trying to work out the picture.

And you have just seven seconds to solve it and become a winner.
So buckle up, set the timer, and test your puzzle-solving skills.
But did you know that solving optical illusions is a great way of training your brain and improving creative thinking?
ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
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.
Some benefits include:
Brainteasers are purposefully designed to trick our vision and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.
So you might want to try The Sun’s wide range of optical illusions created to stimulate the deepest parts of your brain.
The answer to our original puzzle is coming up, as well as some more challenging tasks to try.
In this mind-bending image, everyone can count the ducks but if you can find the hidden needle among the reeds in less than seven seconds, you may have 20/20 vision.

EMMERDALE fans have ‘worked out’ a harrowing twist concerning John Sugden after spotting ‘clues’.
John – played by actor Oliver Farnworth – first arrived in the ITV soap last year.
The former soldier has met half-sister Victoria (Isabelle Hodgins) and formed a relationship with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).
Viewers have been suspicious of John’s intentions for a while, sharing their thoughts online.
They already believe he has something to do with the mysterious body found in the lake.
Fans ‘rumbled’ the body was former villager Nate Robinson, who left last year – after spotting a huge hint.
The arm of the body in the lake was wearing a bracelet identical to one that Nate’s daughter Frankie made him.
Eagle-eyed viewers are convinced John murdered Nate after seeing a very similar-looking tarpaulin used when he disposed of Anthony Fox’s (Nicholas Day) body.
Believing Aaron killed the predator, John ending up helping in covering up the crime.
It was actually Ruby, Anthony’s daughter – whom he had abused – who killed her evil father.
One wrote: “Okay anyone thinking John had something to do with Nate? That tarp wrapping has got me thinking. Might have to go back and watch to see if I can spot the connection.”
Another added: “It was John he’s not who he says he is and is a serial killer.”
The latest theory, however, suggests a tragic storyline ahead for John and Aaron’s relationship.
A viewer highlighted a “controlling” side to secretive John’s personality – sharing fears for Aaron.
One wrote on Reddit: “I thought you loved me’ was a huge red flag,”
Another commented: “that shipped sailed when he told aaron to shut up when he was venting about anthony and getting caught.”
While a third chimed in: “Manipulative, secretive, controlling, and proper creepy.”
The pair had a roadside romp after first meeting – although Aaron was unaware of John’s identity as a Sugden at the time.
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
Aaron tried to get to know John better but he didn’t want to answer any questions.
When Aaron went outside to use a tree for a toilet, John drove off and left him by the side of the road without his keys or wallet.
Could John’s nastier side soon make a return?
Emmerdale continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
HEART-wrenching new detail has emerged spelling out how police officers came across the lifeless bodies of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman, his wife, and their pet dog.
Police tragically discovered the Oscar winner, 95, at his $3.8million mansion on Wednesday afternoon.
Mystery currently surrounds their shocking deaths as police say they suspect no foul play but are desperately awaiting a search warrant.
“All I can say is that we’re in the middle of a preliminary death investigation, waiting on approval of a search warrant,” Adan Mendoza, the Santa Fe County sheriff said.
Cops have not revealed a cause of death but shared tragic new details about the heartbreaking tragedy.
“On February 26 2025 at approximately 1.45pm, Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to an address on Old Sunset Trail in Hyde Park where Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, and a dog were found deceased,” a police statement said.
It comes as…
Floods of messages from fellow Hollywood stars have poured in to remember the acting legend and his special career.
American actor George Takei said Gene’s work “will live on forever”.
“We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it,” Takei said.
“He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was.”
The great filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who worked with Gene in the 1974 film The Conversation, remembered him as a “great actor”.
“The loss of a great artist, always cause for both mourning and celebration: Gene Hackman a great actor, inspiring and magnificent in his work and complexity,” Coppola said.
“I mourn his loss, and celebrate his existence and contribution.”
Patrick Schwarzenegger’s recent meltdown over his nepo baby status had drawn divisive reactions from the audience. While some fans supported the actor’s take, others felt that his remarks came from a place of privilege. Whether his status helped him land The White Lotus role or not, fans have noticed that Mike White’s casting is on […]

A responsible gambler is someone who:
HOLLYOAKS legend Mikyla Dodd has today revealed her devastating health battle after losing nine stone.
The actress 47, shot to fame playing Chloe Bruce on the Channel 4 in soap the early noughties, but has opened up about the darker side of being famous.
The brave star – who is now an Olivier Award winning theatre star – has said she struggled with her weight throughout her teens and twenties.
She revealed at her heaviest she was 24 stone.
Mikayla eventually shed nine stone, but it came at a price of getting caught in a cycle of binge-eating.
The actress is now joining other celebrities including Jess Impiazzi and Sid Owen in appearing in a film called, A Day With An Eating Disorder.
The star-studded feature – which is helmed by writer and filmmaker Lynn Crilly – is a powerful story set to “provide a voice” to those struggling with eating disorders.
Mikayla said: “I’ve got a very challenging relationship with food.
“It dominates my thoughts most of my waking hours and somebody in my family close to me, also has struggled with anorexia nervosa.
“It doesn’t leave people either, it’s a difficult one.
“Getting people when they’re younger and seeing the difference makes that really improves the trajectory to a normal, healthy life and experience with food.”
Continuing the former Hollyoaks star said: “Nobody knows what’s going on behind somebody’s eyes and just appreciating that we’re all having our own struggles in our own way is important.
“What we need is a little bit more humility and a little bit more positivity towards each other.
“There’s not just one way to fix someone.
“One way will work for one person and what’s key is getting the right therapist, the right help and the right network around you. One size doesn’t fit all.’
In 2007, Mikyla released her memoir The Fat Girl From Hollyoaks where she talked about her battle with weight loss.
Since then she has been very honest about the journey she has gone on over the years.
A Day With An Eating Disorder, which is being released later this year, aims to reduce the stigma surrounding anorexia nervosa, bulimia and compulsive exercising.
The film is being supported by SANE, and comes 20 years after filmmaker Lynn’s daughter Samantha was diagnosed with an eating disorder and OCD.
Other stars who will feature includes actor Paul Cooper, dad of Daisy-May Cooper, and comedian Bobby Davro, to name a few.
AN eating disorder is a mental health condition and there are several different types.
They involve using the control of food to cope with feelings and other situations.
The most common eating disorders are:
If you think you have an eating disorder, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Charities can also offer help and advice.
In the UK, Beat, Talk ED and Health for Teens are good places to start.
