Cooksonia neavei, or Neave's tiger mimic, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. The species was first described by Hamilton Herbert Druce in 1912. [1] It is found in Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. [2] The habitat consists of Brachystegia woodland.
Adults resemble dead leaves. They are on wing from late October to mid-November.
The larvae feed on foliose lichens, probably Parmelia species that grow on tree trunks, [3] as is the case with C. aliciae in Malawi.
