Not an illusion or anything, the two larger pieces are simply being enlarged as they move.
What's true or not true here? The name of the moth, or the moth?
there's been some debate about the moth itself, since only a couple scientists claimed its existence (and one of them took that picture)

This is fucking with my head.
Here. This will ease your mind. In the animated version, the pieces grow longer as they move to compensate for the change in height.

It reveals the blind spots our pitifully made eyeballs are flawed with... damn octopuses always make me jealous.
none of the yellow ones actually disappear. it just looks like they do to your eyes.

easier to see with this I think:
Close the right eye and look with the left eye at the white spot in the grid. The black cross on the left disappears (if your head is at the right distance). Or do it the other way around.
Usually the second eye can compensate. In cases like above, the brain will just make stuff up based on the surrounding.
It's a nice demonstration why you can't trust fully what you see (i.e. people seeing "ghosts" etc.) as you only get a modified, dumped down photoshop-version of the sensory input (which is already limited by itself).
More extreme cases are people that e.g. lost the whole right or left side of their vision. Their brain will just fill in the rest and then they get run over by a car because they though the left/right side of the street was clear but their brain just made that up because it couldn't see the car

im pretty sure it's not blind spots because I can clearly see all the yellow when looking at the green dot initially.
for me, after a few seconds the one of the dots will seem to disappear, usually the top left. sometimes two will go away.

At that height you might as well bring a parachute for safety.
Man, they live the life.
What would I give to be able to do something like that...
Imagine this with oculus rift
It's not like it costs anything...
Looks like a Battlefield 4 screenshot.
