The insect seamlessly blends in with the flowerbed of pink peonies but those with eagle eyes should be able to spot it.
From blooming buds to flourishing flowers, you’ll be left scratching your head trying to make sense of this busy image.
Whether you plan to scan the image from top to bottom or left to right, the time to beat is 15 seconds.
It might go without saying that the wings of the butterfly are a similar shade of pink as the flower petals.
And if you need a hint, we recommend focusing on the top half of the image.
Pay particular attention to the green leaves dotted throughout.
Beside one of the leaves, you may notice the outline of the disguised butterfly.
We can reveal that the camouflaged insect is located in the upper half of the image, towards the centre.
The brainteaser, which comes from Hopes Grove Nurseries via Country Living, can help you exercise your brain.
“Gardening has many benefits for the mind, body and soul; it truly is an all-rounder when it comes to protecting health,” said Morris Hankinson, Director of Hopes Grove Nurseries.
“The record to find the butterfly is 15 seconds — if you can beat that well done! Good luck.”
Another tricky brainteaser features a gnarled tree but only those with high IQ can spot a sleepy cat hiding on it.
If that’s still not hard enough for you, then have a go at spotting the hidden broom amongst the clothes in less than five seconds.
