This is Gigamoth. There was a point where Gigamoth was supposed to have a third form, which may or may not be the same thing as the part about Mothra and Gigamoth fusing together, which I remember hearing "somewhere" was supposed to resemble a dragon, but of course the concept art for a third stage of Gigamoth (like... you know, THIS) rarely resembles such a thing, and even then (you know the one, the big purple thing with red wings) it's a pretty vague connection.

In Godzilla 4 the name "Gigamoth" stuck around for a long time for a bunch of clearly different monsters. The archaeopteryx monster is technically named "Gigamoth" as well, and there's a Meganula-like design too.

Anwyas, I can't remember where I've read about the "mutant Mothra" version of Gigamoth's third form, so I won't bother editing this. There's some very similar concept art in Godzilla Heisei Perfection that's of course labeled Gigamoth, but not exactly the same. One looks like a crab or a mantis or something... wild stuff.
