ok I admit I have not got the greatest eyesight

but I have done this many times

saw a mushroom on the mosiac .. grabbed a child , only the mushroom was a very young child ..... she looked like a mushroom to me lol , and then panic , I see a bright colour on the mosiac ,, grab a child ,, but its the dress of ANOTHER very small child, so concludes why I have all collectables , but NOT the Pebbles... I could have been arrested though ... for accosting innocent children lol

I can see something appear in the sand. Butterflies, shells etc I even found the beetles but there is only one colour to look in , to me that mosiac has too many colours and I think I may have missed the pastel ones, I have all the Bright ones

and the kids lol always on there confuse me
, I need new Glasses, Or I am re-registering as Velma lol

lol .. the artist has done a great job on camouflage in that area, hasn't he?

A Kid look like a mushroom? He can be a mushroon at Halloween LOL!

with one of my newer tribes I have found all the beetles without level 3 exploration , need, one Butterfly and one shell bothe uncommon I have all the rare ones and i need 4 pebbles,2 rare , 2 uncommon.. I just hope I can see them when they appear!!

I may not buy level 3 exploration for a while
Village quite new, population 39 and 5 puzzles yet to solve!

I've done the same, many times. My eyesight must be even worse, though, as I've also mistaken kids for beetles. Mushrooms, in particular, are often rather too well camouflaged when they pop up in the mosaic.

May I suggest that you download the pleasantville mod?



Since the background, for the most part, is black and white, and the collectibles and mushrooms are in full color, they are easy to spot:



Good Luck!
