Sean Murphy, a pet store employee, will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for holding Madagascar hissing cockroaches in his mouth for 10 seconds.
The record attempt will be part of the Halloween Spectacular at Preuss Pets, Lansing, Michigan, in the US, where Murphy works, to raise money for the Harris Nature Centre.
The official Guinness World Record for this feat is six cockroaches, and Sean hopes to officially double that by putting 12 of the insects in his mouth.
Money raised at the event will go toward building a new river outlook for educating classes at the Harris Nature Centre.
The previous unofficial record was held by Travis Fessler, a 37-year-old member of the Pickled Brothers Sideshow, based in Kentucky, who fitted nine of the hissing cockroaches into his mouth in October 2008.
