Do you want to make this Valentine's Day extra special? Or get revenge on an ex who broke your heart? Well, how does naming a roach to mark the occasion sound?
The tradition at the Bronx Zoo started back in 2011. Since then, more than 57,000 roaches have been named as part of the tradition.
To get your own personalized roach, you'll need to make a donation. Every donation goes to saving local wildlife.
