Feed Your Insect Ex To An Animal at Butterfly Creek
This Valentine’s Day, Butterfly Creek is giving you the opportunity to name a locust, cricket or mealworm after your ex and watch it* be fed to one of our hungry animals.
Bad break-up? Feeling a little “meh” about love right now? Ready to laugh, reset and do something different? This might be just the thing for you.
All funds raised will go towards supporting our upgrade in the meerkat enclosure.
Order before Wednesday 11th February 2026. All participants must be over 18 years of age.
Don’t miss out – limited insects available so get in quick!
*Watching the insect feeding is via a personalised video sent to you, not in person.

Simply choose your insect, fill in the form, make payment and you’ll get the chance to see your insect be fed to one of our animals in a personalised video.
