Overall, Bad Mojo offers a unique premise, great graphics, and inventive gameplay that provides plenty of thought-provoking puzzles without an inventory (hey, you are a roach)- making it a must-play for all adventure gamers. Movie snippets appear throughout the game to provide clues and move the plot along. The acting is over-the-top, but tolerable. Gameplay is restricted to the moving cursors (but hey, you are a roach), but there are many ingenious puzzles that require thought, intuition, and astute observation. That gives predators the opportunity to take advantage of them.No doubt one of the most unique and disturbing an adventure ever, Bad Mojo's premise is refreshingly original: you are a misanthropic, selfish young man who's turned into a cockroach by the powers that be, to put yourself "in others' shoes," euphemistically speaking. Other problems with the practice, Yeh noted, include “confusing insects when the grass is suddenly low again. So she recommends planting early blooming shrubs, trees and plants to establish a permanent food source they can remember and rely on as adults when they emerge from dormancy. Hibernating insects have memories that span not only from day to day but from year to year, Yeh said. “Then on June 1st, when the food disappears, it’s not good for them.” “Bees tell each other where the food is, and pollinators (when they discover an unmown lawn) will remember to come back to it again and again,” Yeh said. Yeh sees the movement as a “feel-good, stop-gap measure, because if you want to have an impact, you need to establish a permanent cover for insects,” not merely temporary housing. “It’s such a nice slogan, but letting the grass grow high and allowing it to do its thing, and then suddenly mowing it back is really counterproductive.”

“I think it’s a terrible idea, too,” she said. Perplexed by the seemingly runaway-train popularity of the now-annual event, I called Tamson Yeh, turf specialist with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County in New York.

And what about rodents, snakes and other undesirables that also will likely avail themselves of the shelter?
