- For those who don’t quite require revenge, there’s another way to make you feel better about getting back at your ex this Valentine’s Day
- Hemsley Conservation Centre created “Name a Cockroach” program to name your ex
- The names of the insects will be on the conservation center’s “roach board” at its cockroach enclosure
Want a sweet revenge for an ex who broke your heart? I suggest you name a cockroach after them.
With the Hemsley Conservation Center’s new “name a cockroach” program, you can make it possible.
Hemsley wrote on its website that the program was launched in time for Valentine’s Day.
“For those that don’t quite require revenge, there’s another way to make you feel better about getting back at your ex this Valentine’s Day,” it wrote.
In addition to naming a cockroach, participants will get a certificate. But worry not, for the cockroaches’ new names won’t appear on it, as the UK zoo doesn’t want to “fuel a fire.”

The names of the insects will instead appear on Hemsley’s “roach board” at its cockroach enclosure.
Naming a cockroach will only cost $2 and it will make you feel even better because the proceeds of this program will go towards Hemsley projects. According to its website and Facebook post, this means you are also doing charity work.
Although HCC isn’t the first zoo to launch such a program, they are the cheapest. The Bronz Zoo in New York also has a program for customers to name a cockroach after their current lover for $15, as a symbol of current love.

“After the chocolates have been eaten and the flowers have wilted, roaches remain thriving and triumphant. Give the gift that’s eternal and Name a Roach for Valentine’s Day,” the zoo wrote on its website.
Another zoo, Zoo Boise in Idaho, also has a program to name its cockroaches after “that special someone, your best friend, or your favorite family member” for $10.
