For Valentine's Day this year, get some sweet revenge on the ones you hate the most by naming a cockroach after them at the Bronx Zoo. Or perhaps name a roach after the ones you love the most… it's a fine line.

The only gift that says “our love will last a lifetime.” Name a Bronx Zoo Madagascar hissing cockroach after your sweetie and send them a digital certificate.

A package with cockroach naming rights and a digital certificate is just $15. Besides being a unique gift, the program is an annual fundraising event for the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society. Head over to the Bronx Zoo Name a Roach page before February 13th to get in on the deal.
