Tony Eales, a researcher in Queensland and regular contributor to “readers’ wildlife photos”, sent a “spot the” picture. I’ll let him tell you what you’re supposed to spot, and there will be a reveal later:
I took a wide shot of this moth with a “spot the” in mind but found that on the computer the moth actually stood out very well. However there was another moth in the same photo that did not stand out at all.
NOTE: THERE ARE TWO MOTHS IN THE PHOTO. ONE IS QUITE OBVIOUS, BUT YOU’RE NOT LOOKING FOR THAT ONE.
The hidden moth is an unidentified species of Scioglyptis, but the species of the obvious one is unknown. Your job is to spot the cryptic moth. I’d call this one “pretty hard.” There will be a reveal at 11 a.m. Chicago time:
It was very easy to spot the moss 🙂
I think it’s lichen!
Note that the OBVIOUS moth is not the one that you’re looking for!
Moss was a joke, not a typo.
I found it in less that 10 seconds!
So did I. The only problem is that I’m not 100% sure that what I found is actually it.
It was so easy, I probably didn’t really spot it.
I don’t think so. There are two moths in the picture.
the obvious one is obvious, the second one is..
are you sure this isn’t one of your optical illusion posts? i must have spotted the Other Moth a dozen times, looked away…and it’s moved! Everything looks like a moth!
Maybe it’s a tree made entirely out of moth?
I like this theory
I think I see the second one. But who knows?
Spotted both moths, rather quickly.
“both moths”
I like that!
Got it. The not obvious one I mean. Good one!
