    Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: "can you spot the snake?"… https://t.co/it1q8oWJWn

    The snake in the picture is a copperhead. It looks like this – so now you know why it's so hard to see.

    Thankfully, snake biologist Helen Plyar– who tweeted out the pic in the first place – returned after a few hours to reveal where the snake was. Don't click the picture unless you want to give up looking!
