Everyone can see the spider – but even top SCIENTISTS missed the second one, can you find it in 12 seconds?

YOU must have impeccable eyesight if you can spot the second spider in this mind-bending image.

But this latest brainteaser is bound to have you tearing your hair out as you race against the clock.

That's because you've only got 12 seconds to spot the missing critter, so you can't afford to waste any time.

But with the sharpest of eyes and the strongest of minds, you stand a great chance of succeeding.

Even those with perfect observational skills are likely to pass this test as the clock ticks down.

That's because you'll need to search every single part of this image to find the second spider.

And if you can put at least one of those key skills to use, you're likely to succeed.

In the image, we can see a small brown coloured spider sitting on top of a flower, known as a Hoya pandurata.

Located in the tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna, near the China-Laos border, it's doing its best to remain as still as possible.

The sneaky spider is also trying to camouflage itself amongst its surroundings to remain hidden to predators and prey.

What you don't know, however, is that there is a second spider very close by - and it's your job to find it.

So, without further ado, off you go.

And remember, you only have 12 seconds to find it.

If you are struggling however, then we can offer you one clue.

The second spider is very close to the first - so close, you could almost say they are basically touching.

If you are still struggling, however, then the answer has been circled for you below.

But fear not, as you certainly aren't the first to struggle identifying the second spider.

If that was too easy for you, however, then see if you can overcome some of our many other optical illusions.

That includes trying to find the hidden spider amongst the logs in the image above.

If you spot the creepy critter in less than eight seconds then you might just have 20/20 vision and a high IQ.

If that's still not difficult enough, then try and spot the praying mantis in this mind-bending optical illusion in just 12 seconds.

Everyone can see the plants, but you have 20/20 vision & a high IQ if you can overcome the challenge.

Alternatively, you can prove you have impeccable eyesight by spotting the predator hiding in the rocks in just 12 seconds.

You might be left scratching your head as you try to solve this challenge and save yourself from the dangerous animal.
