yes! all of the giant silk moths have pretty crazy-looking caterpillars. at one point in college an imperial moth (aka royal walnut moth) got into my room one weekend while I was gone, couldn't get out, layed eggs and died. their caterpillars are the 'hickory horned devils':

I kept the eggs, and borrowed an aquarium to use to rear them. it was an effort to keep up with their appetite for hickory and walnut leaves. good times.
cecropias are really good-looking moths, too.
