"Rotating white snakes"

Each disk appears to rotate. This illusion is not a variant of the Fraser-Wilcox illusion but a combination of the arrow drift illusion and the "convex drift" illusion.

"White snakes and black snakes"

White snakes and black snakes appear to have red eyes and red tongues, but the apparent red eyes and tongues of the white snakes are physically gray. Moreover, the eyes of the black snakes appear to be larger than those of the white snakes, though they are the same size.
