A wet boulder ... no, wait!

This is one of my favorite camouflage photos. Every time I look at this photo I have to search for the frogs, even though I know where they are! These frogs are great swimmers and even better clingers-on-to-wet-boulders-in-the-stream.

You totally had me. At first, I thought...well John, the frog is clearly visible in the left. Especially of course when knowing something has to be there. Yet then you said frogS...and I'm....what!? Multiple?

A perfect demonstration of bias and selective attention, totally fell for it. Posted 4 years ago

  It's definitely a harder puzzle in the wild, where you don't know whether there's anything on the boulder at all. Still pretty fun if you know the species though! Posted 4 years ago

    Oh yes, I'd probably overlook both in the wild. Yet overlooking a second one whilst knowing something is there, yet still missing it, that's classic. Posted 4 years ago

  I had the same reaction, Ferdy. I had to look again when I read 'frogs'. Posted 4 years ago
