Want to show your girlfriend how much you love her, express it with a bug. This was a suggestion made to couples in New York who wanted a unique Valentine experience. In a bid to raise funds for the New York City Zoo, the Wildlife Conservation Society came up with a unique scheme that allowed you to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after your lover for a $10 donation. And surprisingly, there were hundreds of takers for this. In the very first two days of the promotion, the authorities received some 1,700 cockroach names!
