YOU have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the deadly snake hidden in the trees.
The sneaky serpent blends in with the shrubs and trees as it makes its way to find some prey.
Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers uploaded this head-scratching optical illusion and asked Facebook followers to spot the cunning critter.
"Spot the Snake Sunday is Back! Everyones favourite and sometimes frustrating game is back and ready for you to have a go. I think this one is pretty easy…" the Aussie snake watchers posted.
"You're kidding right?" one user quipped.
"Can’t find it so it must be a invisible snake," joked a second.

But the ordinary-looking image has proved a stark warning for nature lovers to watch every step they take when exploring.
The deadly snake proved it was a master of disguise by completely concealing itself among the undergrowth.
The pic had some people worried about their vision as they were unable to locate it after a number of minutes.
The majority of social media users admitted they had to look in the comment section to discover where the snake was lurking.
One Reddit user joked: "Well either nothing is there or I'm dead from stepping on it."
Another wrote: "I’ve seen this image posted before, knew exactly what to look for and vaguely where I needed to look for it…. still took over a minute of searching before I found it."
And a third chimed in: "I had to scan the whole damn picture as if looking at a prep under a microscope. Only then."
But other eagle-eyed users claimed to have conquered the brain teaser.
One commented: "Center of photo, just below middle. Copperhead snake.
"Who is so scared that he both blends seamlessly into the forest floor and has deadly defense mechanisms."
A second user said: "Directly in the middle, you should see a triangle pattern that slightly stands out.
"It's small but noticeable once you know the pattern and slightly lighter color."
Copperheads unsurprisingly get their quirky name from their bronze-hued heads and can grow up to four feet in length.
The species can administer an extremely painful bite but it is almost never fatal to humans.
They give no warning signs and strike almost immediately if they feel threatened.
