buzzing pest
Droning winged nuisance
A buzzing pest is any flying insect that makes an annoying humming or droning sound—typically flies, mosquitoes, or bees.
The phrase emphasizes both the auditory irritation and the unwanted presence: I couldn't sleep with that buzzing pest circling my head.
Figuratively, a buzzing pest is any persistently annoying person who won't leave you alone.
