A mealworm with four red arrows pointing to it, each with a label: "YOUR FRIEND'S PARTNER THAT YOU HATE," "YOUR EX," "YOUR LOUD UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR," and "THAT ONE TV CHARACTER." This image is part of a promotion to name feeder insects after disliked people for a conservation fundraiser.

Love Bites

Raise funds for Animal Enrichment

Roses are red, being single is fine – name one of our bugs after an old Valentine!

This Valentine’s Day, turn heartbreak, annoyance, or just a good laugh into something wildly meaningful through Love Bites.

 

For a $5 contribution, you can name an insect in honor – or dishonor – of an ex, that one book character that crushed you, or that one person who just bugs you – and then watch it become a tasty snack for one of our animals!

Want to get involved? Here’s how:

👐 Contribute $5 = name a bug (100% of proceeds go directly to animal enrichment)

🐛 We’ll name the bug with your chosen name (first names only!)

📱 Feeding moments will be recorded and shared on our socials (Facebook & Instagram)

Want to join the action? 

Name Your Bug!

Your bug will become part of a balanced diet for animals like Coatis, Ostriches, Fennec Fox, and more. Whether you’re celebrating love, laughing through a breakup, or just want to do something fun for a good cause – this is your chance to turn petty into purposeful. Register your bug by February 13.
