Camouflage

"I think I found it!" That is what you might say if you were looking at a camouflage illusion. Camouflage illusions are almost like "Can You Find" worksheets kids do in the first grade. They mix an object in with different shades of it’s own color. For example, a green lizard might be surrounded by plants, herbs or bushes. Or, like you see here, many bugs are invisible when they are in their natural environment. A whale might be surrounded by gallons of water and a clear blue sky.
