Engaging with these puzzles provides a mental workout that sharpens thinking and facilitates problem-solving, according to ZenBusiness. Individuals with a high visual IQ should be able to quickly spot the beetle, leaving ample time to appreciate the rest of the image. Still struggling?

Here's a helpful hint: Beetles often gravitate towards sticks, using their camouflage to blend seamlessly into their environment. If you're still unable to spot the beetle, don't fret.
