The image went viral on Reddit and left puzzlers scratching their heads for a solution.
It has since garnered more than 50,000 upvotes and over 1,500 comments from confused viewers.
One person wrote: “Wow my poor eyesight would never have seen them before it was too late lol”.
Another joked: “Or maybe you could just tell us where you are and we’ll never get there?”
And a third commented: “Copper snakes are the king/queens of camouflage.
“I grew up in Georgia and I still get surprised by one or two every year. Some look like a new coin and some are perfect like the leaves around them.”
But don’t worry if you’re struggling to spot them too, because below we have a solution.
Copperhead snakes are commonly found in the southern and eastern regions of the United States, and have bodies that range from dark brown to copper gray.
Given how widespread and populous they are, the species is responsible for more venomous snakebites than any other in the United States.
They can also tolerate living in areas and developed land, making interactions with humans more frequent.
The reptiles grow to be between two and three feet long, although there are records of individuals over four feet long.
Although venomous, copperheads are generally not aggressive and bites are rarely fatal.
