Valentine’s Day is creeping up on us once again.
Looking for something unique and memorable for that not-so-special someone in your life this Valentine’s Day? Does your ex no longer “OCTIPI” your heart? This Valentine’s Day, join in the fun by symbolically naming a superworm, cricket, or veggie after your ex and have it fed to one of the animals at the St. Louis Aquarium! You can participate through Sunday, February 16, 2026.
How it Works
As part of your $10, $15 or $25 donation, you will receive a digital Valentine’s Day Card showing your support for the Love Bites Fundraiser and video of your “ex” being devoured by one of our animals.
- For $10, your veggie “ex”, will be fed to our North American Porcupine, Nigel
- For $15, your super worm “ex”, will be fed to Percy the Opossum
- For $25, your cricket “ex”, will be fed to our chameleon, Clementine
- The best part is 100% of your donation benefits conservation and education programs at the St. Louis Aquarium Foundation!
Be sure to share the fun on social media with hashtag #LoveBitesSTL and tag @AquariumSTL on Instagram. (You must be 18 years old or older to participate)
After Valentine’s Day, we will announce the most popular names that make Love Bite!
