No ID can be attempted with that photo. You'll need to give us a clearer, closer image.

I agree, you need a better picture. However, just so you can compare, here is what an adult female Tegenaria domestica looks like:

Unfortunately, if your spider looks like this it will be almost impossible to ID it to species based just on a picture. For example, here is what Tegenaria agrestis looks like:

Virtually identical. While you might be able to find small differences between the individuals in these two pictures, that won't help. Individuals vary slightly even within a single species. You really have to look at these spiders under magnification to tell them apart (and there are other species of Tegenaria that also look very much like either of these guys). Also, going by size isn't reliable, because adult individuals within a species also vary in size. Many of the species in this genus simply look very much alike.

You may very well have a Tegenaria domestica. Where did you say you're located? If you're in one of the prairie provinces it's more likely you have T. domestica than T. agrestis. I'm pretty sure that T. agrestis is found more toward the Pacific coast areas. One of the reasons I'm "up" on these spiders at the moment is because I found a T. domestica in Edmonton last week and went through the whole keying-out thing to identify it.

At any rate, try and take a good, clear, close picture, with good lighting. It may turn out to be something else entirely, so that's a good reason to post a better picture. :)

Here's a great article, with pictures, that shows you how to tell these and similar-looking spiders apart:

Actually, I said it might be T. domestica - and that was pure speculation as to which species it might be if it turned out to be Tegenaria. That's as far as I'd go at this point. Without a better picture I wouldn't even take a real guess as to what family it belongs to. All I would say at this point, based on the picture, is it looks like some kind of spider. :)

Yep, try and keep it technical. Theres probably around 40,000 species of spiders in this here world and I bet half of em look just like yours photographed with low light/slow shutter. :)
