EVEN creepy-crawlies can find time for a spot of Valentine’s rom-ants, as these pictures show.

Larvae was in the air at Colchester Zoo ahead of Tuesday’s celebrations for couples.

Leaf cutter ants were given sugar coated paper hearts to pass between each other.

The zoo is marking this half term with a range of Woo at the Zoo events running until Sunday, February 19.

There is the chance to make special gifts and watch a Valentine’s themed show in the Wild about Animals Theatre.

the zoo’s train will almost be transformed into the Valentine's Express.
