A swarm of mosquitoes is hovering over a bucket of water. I don't think flies can hover - mostiques seem to though. Flies and mosquitoes are different pests.

GG, I'm wondering what do you call the action of a fly that's annoying you by standing on your body and keeps coming back even after you swat at it.

There is a swarm of flies .... my dog.
