Flying Butterflies Illusion

Brrr! The air is starting to get pretty chilly in the mornings, and you know what that means…autumn is here and Old Man Winter isn’t far behind! I, myself, am not a big fan of winter. I really can’t handle the cold and would love to follow the many birds and butterflies that migrate to warmer climates down south every winter! Like these butterflies…

Unfortunately,though, these poor butterflies seem to be a bit confused. Instead of flying straight down south, they appear to be flying in a circle. I doubt they’ll get very far, but it’s a fun flying butterflies illusion anyway! If you’re having trouble seeing this flying butterflies illusion, try looking slightly to the left or right of the image; you should see them move, as if they’re flying in a circle.

If you love moving illusions, you won’t want to miss this crazy moving tunnel illusion! It’s one of my favorites!
