Thanks everyone for the comments! when I saw it I was amazed too with that pattern although the clown didn't immediately stand out!!
Quite creepy...but if interested I have a moth where you can almost see a lady or a fairy. Check it out:

@Chris:
Natural selection and the need for survival is such a magnificent artist! This just shows how strategies vary and the paths lead to infinite possibilities if you give them time and enough environmental (in)stability. ;o)
