Can you spot the deadly snake camouflaged in this greenery?

<p>Can you spot the deadly snake perfectly camouflaged amongst this lush greenery?</p> <p>The photo was taken by Mark “The Snake Hunter" Pelley near Hazel Glen College in Melbourne last week.  </p> <p>Posting the picture to Facebook, the professional snake catcher asked his followers if they could not only spot the snake but identify what species it was.</p> <p>Can you see it?</p> <p><img width="562" height="375" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/12/04/12/46F840DE00000578-5143327-image-a-66_1512388944088.jpg" alt="While this greenery shows off the healthy effects of the rain Victoria has been receiving recently, it also hides a deadly secret with a venomous snake lurking among the clovers" class="blkBorder img-share b-loaded" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" id="i-8cdf2c2c11426963"/></p> <p>Mr Pelley told Yahoo 7 that he shared the image to raise awareness to parents and their children in the area to highlight how easy it is to overlook areas snakes can hide.</p> <p>“This is a still picture with a high resolution camera and even then you struggle to see it,” he said.</p> <p>“There's a school right there, that's why I just wanted to bring it to the parents' attention.”</p> <p>Here’s where the snake was lurking.

The home inspired by the 2017 colour of the year

<p>Pantone and Airbnb have partnered up to create a sustainable house modelled entirely on 2017's Colour of the Year – Greenery.</p> <p>Located in Clerkenwell, London, the rental is known as The 'Outside In' House. It was created by Pantone as "an antidote to January blues and to encourage all those who enter it to embrace 2017 with fresh optimism and excitement."</p> <p>With a woodland-themed reception, an indoor greenhouse/dining room, a tented-nook for children and a garden bedroom with a mown lawn and topiaries, the newly renovated rental has been transformed into an indoor-outdoor oasis.</p> <p>To check-in, guests simply knock on the eye catching Pantone 15-0343 Greenery front door and wait to be greeted by the house "groundskeeper" who will present them with a fresh green juice, colour-matched to Pantone's Greenery, before being taken on a tour of the space.</p> <p>Since the bright green shade was selected as the Colour of the Year by Pantone's Colour Institute, plenty of products have been created in the stand-out hue; however, we don't think anyone else has used it throughout their entire house... yet.</p> <p>We're certainly greenery with envy over whoever manages to score a night in this oasis.</p> <p>To learn more or book the space, <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/16908431/?af=61160407&amp;c=apac_au_over60_greenhouse"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">click here</span></strong></a>.</p> <p><em>Written by Natalia Didovich.
