The latest confounding image being shared on social media also teaches an important lesson – when hiking in areas with venomous snakes, don’t assume you’ll be able to see it before it’s too late.

Still not convinced? Join the people who have been trying to find the snake lurking in this Twitter photo posted Sunday by snake biologist Helen Plylar, according to Mashable.

“Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: “can you spot the snake?”

“Cute but venomous, so no touchy!” Helen tweeted.

Since the photo went viral, Plylar pinned this tweet to her account after receiving at least one photo of a dead snake:

Had one of these slither across the path in front of me a couple of days ago - fortunately, they're very easy to spot:

The head has been slightly blurred so you have to look for patterns not shapes. If the head were not blurry it would be a lot easier!

Yes...

Are you serious? I've stared at that enlarged photo and still can't find the snake even with the help of the diagram in the actual article........

I guess I'm too used to spotting snow snakes here in the winter in Michigan.........
