The Tiger Bug Mimic (Correbia lycoides) is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1854. It is found in Mexico, Honduras, Panama,[1] the Amazon biome from Guyana to southern Brazil and Peru[2] and on Cuba and Jamaica.[3]

Adults mimic certain wasps and Heteropteran bugs. They are active during the day, but also fly at night.
