Eratigena atrica or ... ? - Eratigena duellica
Errington, Regional District of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
October 21, 2014
Size: ~15 mm
I've seen at least five of these large spiders in my house this fall. After viewing the images on this site, I suspect it is eratigena atrica, but I would appreciate some confirmation, as I really do not know much at all about arachnids (or insects or creepy crawly things in general).
