I later picked up that towels to dry my hands, and it had hidden itself there, in the dark. A little forethought would have prevented it, but it was only annoying as it was. I later released it outside.
The ones we have out here are small, 2-3 inches at most, usually around 2". We had them in the house where we used to live. Mrs John stepped on one but it didn't sting her, it just ran across the floor. They run fast!
We also had those big centipedes, like the size of a pencil. They sting, too.
