Orange moth-like insect

We found this near the end of August in Farmville, Virginia (United States) in our suburban yard. It was crawling in the grass. We have never seen one before and would like to know more about it.

After sitting on my hand for a bit, it froze and arched it's tail up, somewhat like a scorpion or a Dragon Moth:


Here is a photo of a Dragon Moth I found on the internet that seems to be doing the same kind of tail arch:


Maybe the one we found is some kind of juvenile Dragon Moth?
