lovebug

Gulf Coast swarmer

Lovebug is an affectionate term for a person who is exceptionally sweet, affectionate, or easy to love—often used for children or romantic partners: Come here, you little lovebug.

Also the name of a black-and-red fly that swarms in massive mating pairs across the Gulf Coast states, so called because the coupled insects fly attached to each other.
