NEW YORK -- Roses are red, violets are blue; how about having a roach named for you? The Bronx Zoo is offering people the chance to name one of its Madagascar hissing cockroaches in honor of someone for Valentine's Day. For $10, recipients get an emailed certificate telling them one of the insects from the world's largest roach species has been named for them. This year, the zoo will send chocolates or a Madagascar cockroach plush toy for higher donations.
