The El Paso Zoo is offering a unique way to celebrate being single on Valentine's Day - by letting you name a cockroach after your ex so they can feed it to the meerkats.

All you have to do is message the El Paso Zoo on Facebook with your ex's name and they'll name a cockroach after them. 

The zoo plans to post the first and last name initial of the cockroaches starting Feb. 11 on Facebook.

Video of the meerkats devouring the bugs will be available at 2:15 p.m. on Valentine's Day.
