Can't decide on what to get that special someone for Valentine's Day? Sometimes the answer is all around us, and right where it's been for millions of years—like cockroaches! How better to express your appreciation for that special someone than to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after them? ...

He or she is a Madagascar hissing roach, the biggest and loudest of these stalwart insects. WCS's Bronx Zoo has 58,000 of these brown, iridescent beauties, and they need names. With a $10 donation, one of them can be named by you. How sweet!

We'll send a truly memorable certificate of honor to that certain someone explaining that there's a special insect living at the Bronx Zoo with his or her name on it.

That's great! I always knew the roaches in New york were big! Don't tell me you have to go to the Zoo there to find one big nough to name!
We get barn spiders here that show up in the house. There was one in the upstairs kitchen for a while i was threatening to buy a collar and a dish for and use as a watch spider until we had to take it outside before my mom came to visit. My son called it Doc Oc.
