      Visually it looks like a promising match to me. Wikipedia mentions it to be mostly an Americas bug yet real world observations also show it in South East Asia. Posted 5 years ago

The Common Lovebug

The love bug is a species of march fly found in parts of Central America and the southeastern United States, especially along the Gulf Coast. It is also known as the honeymoon fly or double-headed bug. During and after mating, matured pairs remain together, even in flight, for up to several days.
