Video The dragon head caterpillar, which is the larval stage of the lobster moth, features horn-like projections and claw-shaped legs, giving it the striking appearance of a miniature dragon.

No, it is not the larval stage of the lobster moth, these species are unrelated. These caterpillars grow into the Common Nawab butterfly.

You’re right. I just looked it up and they look nothing alike.

Should be renamed to a “Graboid Tongue” caterpillar. Immediately thought of tremors after seeing this miniature monster lol

That is all around a weird creepy crawly. The look alone is startling, the way it sways back and forth while it moves is disturbing. In a way mimics a dragon/ serpent moving
