Designed by prolific artist Gergely Dudás, the happy image draws in viewers with its colorful flowers and playful creatures.

A first look at the illusion reveals the bear and raccoon, along with a lamb, rabbit, fox, porcupine, butterflies, and even a pair of penguins.

But upon closer inspection, eagle-eyes viewers will spot another hidden critter.

This one has six legs, two wings, and a stinger.

If you can find the secret bee in under 20 seconds, you may have 20/20 vision.

Like all the happy animals in this illusion, the tiny drone is doing what it loves — munching on pollen.

If you saw it quickly, you probably have a high IQ.

Need a hint? The bee is the same color as the flowers and butterflies.

It's your last chance to find the busy insect on your own before the answer is revealed.

Instead, viewers are asked to identify the first animals they see in the image.

Most people either see a village scene with birds flying overhead, or a large elephant.

Those who see only birds, trees, and huts in the image "value traditions and prefer a simple and peaceful style of life," according to the drawing creators.

While viewers who see an elephant are "respectful to others, loyal to your friends, and a great listener".
