Answer 1

That is something nasty called a cave cricket. They make a snapping noise when they jump, they multiply fast and are the nastiest things I know of. You can research it by searching on yahoo or google for the name cave cricket. They are an insect that live in moist, dark places like caves hence the name or like damp basements and closets.
