Name a Bug

Give someone bug-tterflies this Valentine’s Day! This year, give a gift they’re sure to remember when you name a bug after someone you love … or someone who just bugs you.

Make a $15 donation to the Minnesota Zoo Foundation before midnight on February 14 to name a bug in someone’s honor and help feed Minnesota Zoo animals. Whether for a friend or foe, your bug will become part of a balanced diet for animals like golden lion tamarins, chameleons, opossums, turtles, and more.

Recipients will receive an ecard with a personalized message informing them that a bug has been named in their honor.

Follow the instructions below to make sure your friend (or foe) is notified of your dedication:

1. Select the box that says “Dedicate your Donation” after entering your payment information.

2. Enter your recipient’s name and select the box that says “Send an email” under their name.

3. Enter your recipient’s email address and enter a personal message here if you’d like!

4. Lastly, enter your information and your recipient will learn about your gift soon!
