For the second year in a row the Bronx Zoo is offering a quirky, city-appropriate homage to love for Valentine's Day. Their program, "[Name a Roach](http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2012/02/valentines-day-name-roach-after-love-your-life/48474/)" allows you to devote a roach in name to your loved one for just ten dollars. Shell out a bit more cash and you'll get a cocoa-roach, or even two!

[Zoo ](http://www.bronxzoo.com/)sources told [The Atlantic Wire ](http://www.theatlanticwire.com/)that approximately $40,000 has been raised so far for the [Wildlife ](https://thomaspestservices.com/glossary)Conservation Society through the roach-love program.

How would your other half react if their Valentines Day present was a roach named after them?
