With many of us still struggling with getting piles of snow dumped on us, it can be hard to imagine that sunshine and warmth will ever be here again. But, spring and summer are just around the corner, I swear. And, with warmer weather comes all sorts of new life, including the Monarch butterfly. Which brings us to today’s ominous butterfly optical illusion…
Why is this an ominous butterfly optical illusion, you ask? It may seem innocent enough at first, but I can assure you that there’s a little more going on in this image than you might first notice. You’ll have to look pretty closely at this butterfly optical illusion to see the ominous part of it, though.
I’m not going to give away the answer here, but I can give you a hint. Actually, I can give you two hints. Take a look at this caterpillar illusion and this leafy chameleon illusion, then look at the picture of the butterfly above again.
Do you see what makes this butterfly illusion so ominous now…?
If you liked this ominous butterfly optical illusion, be sure to rate it!
Looks like a praying mantis having dinner.
Good spot – I see it now :)
It’s a Viceroy butterfly. Birds don’t eat Monarchs, so the Viceroy disguises itself to look like a Monarch.
