The lovebug is a pest that came up from Central America. From the wiki:
The lovebug (Plecia nearctica) is a species of march fly found in parts of Central America and the southeastern United States, especially along the Gulf Coast.[2] It is also known as the honeymoon fly or double-headed bug. During and after mating, mature pairs remain together, even in flight, for up to several days.[3]
They neither sting nor bite, they simply aggravate other creatures. We are in an infestation right now, with probably a thousand mated pairs between the house and the shop. When killed, their innards are acidic to the point that the acid from their innards will eat the paint off your car. If you are driving down the highway and encounter a swarm, your windshield turns green and the wipers smear the slime. Oh, they are nasty
I know that all of God's creatures have a purpose, but I can't figure out the lovebug. We hates them, we does.

the purpose of a lovebug is to convince motorcycle riders that full face helmets are the way to go
Yes, those were really fun when I was stationed in Florida and the only vehicle I owned was a motorcycle.
