Correbia lycoides, the tiger bug mimic, is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Francis 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.
