This Valentine's Day, Name a Giant Cockroach After Your Ex or Loved One at the Bronx Zoo

It's back! The Bronx Zoo's annual Name a Roach fundraising event is on again for 2018, letting you name one of the zoo's Madagascar hissing cockroaches after anybody you want. While it's advertised as a way for couples to do something special for each other on Valentine's Day, many people use it to get some sweet revenge on an ex!

It’s the most romantic time of year. Time to show that special someone how much they mean to you. With cockroaches. Name a Bronx Zoo Madagascar hissing cockroach for your Valentine! It’s the only gift that says, “Our love is eternal.” This year, you can add a pin, chocolate, or socks to up the sweet and cuddly factor. Roaches don’t discriminate, or gossip. If you’d rather name a roach to let out some leftover tension from 2017, we promise not to tell.

Prices start at just $15 and include a special digital certificate you can send out. Check out Name a Roach to see all available options.
