What the heck is that?

A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning the dishes out of my sink and I found one of these guys. At the time it kinda startled me. But, I was able to pull my self together, catch it in a teacup, and released it to the "wild". Afterwards, I looked it up in my trusty Spider guidebook and discovered that it was a Common Scutigera or House Centipede.

I actually found a great article on this species. It says that they can sometimes be found in the bathtub or sink because they slip down the walls and get stuck. That's just what happened to my visitor.
