A butterfly perches in the eye socket of a human skull, creating the illusion of an eye. This once in a lifetime photograph made by #Marko Popadic, titled “Oko” (meaning eye in Croatian) shows a perfectly posed butterfly sitting in the eye socket of a human skull.

Even though I can’t remember whether I found this photo myself, or if it was sent to us as another user-submissions, I perfectly remember how amazed I was when I first saw it. As explained earlier, #pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus being perceived as significant. To put it simple, [...]

Apologizes for skipping Tuesday (illusion wise)! Something technical came up, which asked for immediate attention. No need to go into much detail, but it was an issue I believe had something to do with our bandwidth. Anyway, let me share these two posters to make up for it. When I first saw them, I remember [...]
