This Zoo Will Let You Name A Cockroach After Your Ex!!

#1 IF you’re still mad at your ex, there’s a zoo which is offering a sure-fire way to help you move on forever.

For a bargain at $10 (or £6.80), you can name a cockroach at the Bronx Zoo after your ex, which is sure to kill off any lingering positive associations you may still have.

As if knowing that there's a roach out there with your previous partner's name isn't enough, the zoo will also send you a digital certificate to prove that you've named one of the creepy crawlies after someone you hate.

#2 Look familiar? You could name one of these creepy critters after an ex

The New York zoo originally offered this unique service as a Valentine's gift, but the concept gained more popularity after vengeful singles started used the zoo's animal naming service to assign their exes' names to the roaches.

And you don't need to worry about the zoo running out of bugs, because there are tens of thousands of Madagascar hissing cockroaches which are still nameless.

#3 The zoo originally offered the service for Valentines day, but it has since increased in popularity

Madagascar hissing cockroaches are some of the largest members of the roach family, with the insects reaching three inches when fully grown.

If that sounds all too familiar, then perhaps it's time to get in touch with Bronx zoo and make your breakup official by naming a roach after ex-partner.

The roaches get their name from the hissing sounds they make when preparing to mate or fight... something which may also sound very familiar.

#4 If someone is still bugging you after a breakup then it's time to get in touch with the zoo

The name cockroach comes from a Latin expression, meaning: ""an insect that shuns the light."

Insect-enthusiasts at the zoo are also quick to point out that your £6.80 donation would be doing some good, as they use the money to protect the misunderstood bugs.

The funds raised by the zoo's cockroach naming programme were donate to the Wildlife Conservation Society.
