Noticed these on a short drive this Sunday morning… Commonly called the tropical almond, false kamani trees are deciduous, and are dropping their colorful leaves (they redden before falling). I was so tempted to scoop up armfuls of the fallen brown leaves for my compost pile, but they are tough, and would take forever to break down.

I wanted to play with the new lens today so I shot this during strong winds this afternoon.Lot's of movement in the boats and docks.
The name "False Cobra" comes from the fact that this is not a cobra. It imitates a cobra's stance by spreading its neck into a hood and hissing like the cobra. It can grow up to 1.5 metres in length and preys on rodents and lizards.
I *love* this picture, doesn't it look like they're walking on water? I even put it up on my deviantART page.

Scientific name: Zoropsis spinimana
Size: Males up to 12mm, Females up to 19mm
Distribution: Rare, but found in some parts of England - especially in and around London.
Months seen: All year round
Habitat: Mostly in houses and out buildings
Food: Invertebrates
Special features: False Wolf Spiders Zoropsis spinimana are pale brown in colour with a greyish blush. There is a row of two or three black blobs along the middle of the abdomen which look like badly painted diamond shapes. The legs are also speckled with black. They have eight eyes arranged in four groups of two (one above the other).
This spider has recently been introduced to the UK. It originates from the Mediterranean area, so being more used to milder climates prefers to be indoors in the UK. It has also recently been introduced to the San Francisco area of the United States.
False Wolf Spiders are active at night. They hunt their prey actively by chasing it down. Like most spiders they have enough venom to inflict a temporarily painful bite, but not enough to do any serious harm.
