love bug

Hopelessly smitten person

Love bug is an affectionate term for someone you're fond of, especially a romantic partner or a child: Come here, love bug.

The word also names a small black fly with a red thorax that swarms in the Gulf Coast region, notorious for splattering on car windshields during mating season.
