This fellow showed up in the basement recently. It's about 5 cm long.
I believe, based on some photos at this rather good spider website, that it is a Grass Spider (Funnel Weaver) of the genus Agelenopsis. Harmless, but frightening when it surprises you. We find these in the house all the time.
Apologies for crapness of the photo - the camera was being a bit stroppy. No user error at all. Really.

Think I lost ten years of my lifespan there.
2006, wow! But it was the best picture I found on the internet. Looks exactly like the beautiful specimen temporarily housed in my plastic bowl. Well, now that I know exactly what it is, I will release it back into the wild! (I caught it in the bedroom). Thanks for posting.
Gabriele - glad to be of service. :)
And welcome.
