Somehow, I missed out on the perfect Valentine’s gift this year. In celebration of the holiday, the Bronx Zoo, for a mere $15.00, allows lovers to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after their certain someone.
These are not your standard,
off-the-shelf roaches. Madagascar
hissing cockroaches can grow to four inches in length. And they love to climb stuff.
Had I known about this, there
might be a special Miss Desiree scuttling around at the Bronx Zoo today.
Apparently, the Bronx Zoo's “Name
a Roach” program has been in place for eleven years.
One of this year’s happy Valentine’s
Day participants noted (after naming a cockroach), "Roses and chocolates
come and go, but roaches last an eternity.”
