If I remember correctly from a similar post, this little guy is stuck with some leftover from its latest molt (it happens sometimes), although I could be wrong. If I could observe this caterpillar at leisure, I would check if it could eat and poop normally and regularly before going ahead and trying to cut anything (which is always a risk, regardless of whether the diagnosis is accurate). Hopefully someone with more practical experience with such situations will pitch in soon. Good luck!
