NEW YORKJust in time for Valentine's Day, the Bronx Zoo and The Chocolate Box are teaming up to help you say 'I love you' in a memorable, hissing way. The Wildlife Conservation Societys Bronx Zoo has a new batch of Madagascar hissing cockroaches and, for $10, you can name one in honor of your Valentine. That ten bucks includes a certificate that lets your loved one know you've named a roach in his/her honor. Is there nothing sweeter? Well, yes, there is. For an extra $15, you can order a solid, dark-chocolate Cocoa-Roach (not a chocolate-covered roach) so your Valentine might actually stick around until next February. All proceeds benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society.

According to the Bronx Zoo, "Madagascar hissing cockroaches are the worlds largest roach species reaching nearly four-inches long. The namesake hissing noise is emitted as a defense mechanism."

Hurry. You must order before Feb. 6 to ensure Valentine's Day delivery.
