If lingerie is too intimate and dinner out too pricey, the Bronx Zoo suggests a novel Valentine’s Day gift — a big roach.

“Nothing says forever like a cockroach,” quipped spokesman John Calvelli.

The Wildlife Conservation Society is asking the public to supply names, with $10 donations, for the zoo’s thousands of Madagascar hissing roaches.

Naming a roach after someone honors that person’s resourcefulness and resiliency, Calvelli said.

Or as the society put it: “Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. Roaches are forever.”
