Sneaky animals are hiding in plain sight in these photos... so can YOU spot them?

These amazing animals are true masters of disguise blending effortlessly into their environment as a means of survival in the natural world.

From frogs to fish and bugs to birds this collection of images, from a whole host of photographers all over the world, shows the animal kingdoms outstanding ability to blend into the background.

For humans the power to be invisible is something many of us can only dream of, but for a whole host of animals, camouflage is the best tool they have in the constant struggle to survive.

Animals use two basic methods of concealment in a bid to hide from predators and catch prey.

These are general resemblance and special resemblance. With general resemblance animals use colour to blend in with their background until they are almost invisible.

This method is most commonly associated with chameleons but other creatures including spiders and the Hymenopus Coronatus - also known as the Orchid Mantis - adopt this tactic when hiding and hunting.

Special resemblance sees creatures use a mixture of shape, colour, texture and behaviour to make them appear like something else in their habitat such as a leaf or a twig.

Take a look at these photographs and see if you can spot the hidden creatures in each one.

Some are harder than you might think.
