Test your observation skills with this challenging task involving insects and other creatures.
Quick thinkers with excellent eyesight will find it easy to solve this puzzle in just a few seconds.
Tombola has teamed up with ITV’s I’m a Celebrity to create this test to determine how adept you are at spotting bugs in the jungle.
If you are not an insect-lover then this might be a tricky challenge for you.
Players have just 17 seconds to spot all 12 bugs in the image.
The well-camouflaged insects are incredibly hard to spot with the dense and dark jungle not giving you any help.
But, if you do find that you can find all of the bugs in the 17-second timeframe you can give yourself a pat on the back.
Not only do you most likely have 20/20 vision and a high IQ but you will be much better than the average Brit.
It takes the average reader 57 seconds to locate all of the creepy crawlies in this puzzle, Tombola has revealed.
The majority of those who attempt this puzzle find that they can only spot half of the bugs.
If you are struggling here are some clues and tips that could help.
First, make sure there are no distractions – you must keep your mind focused.
Secondly, it often helps if you narrow down your search area which you could do by dividing the image into quarters.
Search each piece carefully before moving on to the next one.
This makes it more likely that you will spot tiny details that could lead you to find more bugs.
Some also find it useful if they know what bugs they are looking for, so here is the full list:
- Two spiders
- Bee
- Moth
- Stick Insect
- Woodlouse
- Caterpillar
- Roach
- Ant
- Grub
- Snail
- Butterfly
Some of these insects are easier to spot than others with the butterfly, bee, and moth particularly sticking out.
