People creeped out after man posts photo of massive spider hiding in plain sight... can you spot in 20s or less?
A man who almost put his hand on top of a massive spider has posted a picture on Reddit challenging users to see if they would be as lucky in avoiding it. User kingakatosh shared the picture in the subreddit /FindTheSniper, a Where's Waldo-inspired community where people post photos and ask others to find a particular thing. While many struggled at first, it was not long before more eagle-eyed users spotted the large critter, leaving many feeling thoroughly creeped out. Self-described arachnophobes were quickest in spotting the frighteningly large, brown-colored spider in the mess of leaves and twigs. 'My spidey senses (arachnophobia) were tingling and I found that f***er immediately,' one person wrote. 'Oh hell, I immediately zoomed in on it and gagged,' another person wrote. 'Finding it gave me a crawling sensation in my brain, which I disliked very much. Thank you,' a third commented. Take a look at the photo and see if you can spot it in 20 seconds or less. In the comments, the poster revealed that they live in the midwestern US and narrowly avoided touching the critter. 'Reached my hand down to pick up and rock and noticed this dude mere millimeters from my hand ACKKK,' the user wrote. Others commented on what type of spider the poster had seen, with most settling on it likely being a dark fishing spider, scientifically known as Dolomedes tenebrosus. Dark fishing spiders are found in the United States and Canada. Despite their name, they typically dwell in trees and wooded areas. Females can reach a body length of about an inch long with a leg span of over three inches, while males are usually about half the size. They generally don't pose a threat to humans as they considered shy spiders. They will usually run away at the slightest bit of movement from a person. In the rare circumstance that one bites a person, the bite is no more severe than a bee or wasp sting, according to the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State. However, those who are already vulnerable to spider venom could experience more serious symptoms. Mature dark fishing spiders are typically found roaming around starting in May through September. Studies have shown that male spiders die when they mate, which leads to their female counterparts cannibalizing them. Females deposit their egg sacs in June and carry them around until they're ready to hatch.

You need 'eyes of a sniper' to spot moose hiding in grass in 30 seconds
Love brainteasers? You might want to give this Canadian-themed puzzle a go, which challenges participants to spot a moose hiding in a patch of grass within 30 seconds Test your visual skills with this deceptively difficult brainteaser that might leave you puzzled. A user on Reddit created the puzzle, which involves finding an animal hidden within a grassy scene. Posting on the FindTheSniper subreddit, user cyborgzz gave participants the challenge of finding a moose camouflaged by long grass and trees. They shared a photo of the hidden moose, known for being the largest of all the deer species. At a first - and maybe even second - glance, it's tricky to spot the moose in among the surrounding greenery. The user posted the picture and simply wrote: 'Find the moose.' The dense vegetation will test even those with the sharpest eyes. Just like your body, your brain benefits from regular exercise - and many people turn to brainteasers and puzzles like this one to stay mentally active. These types of challenges can help sharpen your focus and boost your concentration over time. Ready? Try it out below! The brainteaser was ranked in the post as 'medium' difficulty, and a number of participants shared that they spotted the moose's ears first. One said: 'Those ears just perked up.' Another exclaimed: 'I found its ears!' A third commented: 'The ears!' Moose ears are large and can be rotated, allowing the animals to pinpoint the source of sounds - which helps them to detect predators or potential mates. A Reddit user in the comments asked where the photo was taken and cyborgzz revealed that they snapped the picture in Matachewan in Ontario, Canada. Struggling to find the moose? Someone shared that they 'found it behind one of the many trees in the picture.' Answer Give up? An eagle-eyed participant gave the moose's location: 'Between the two small dead trees! To the right of the tall dead trees, you can just see the ears sticking out.' A second chimed in: 'There is no mistaking those ears that are located just right of dead [centre].' A third said: 'Northeast of the [centre]. Tree has ears. Master of disguise.' A different contributor noted that for such big animals moose 'sure hide well' and 'can disappear pretty easily.' Others boasted about how easy they found this brainteaser as one user described it as 'too easy' and another admitted: 'I don't know how I found it that quickly.' According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a brainteaser is 'a problem for which it is hard to find the answer, especially one which people enjoy trying to solve as a game'. Brainteasers are challenges that test your thinking skills - they can be puzzles, tricky questions, or problems that require mental effort to crack. These engaging activities are designed to boost your cognitive abilities, encouraging skills like critical thinking, logic, and creative problem-solving. You'll find them in many forms, including riddles, logic challenges, math puzzles, and word games. Not only do brainteasers give your mind a healthy workout, but they're also a fun and simple way to keep children entertained or pass the time when you have a spare moment in your day.
