That's an Azalea Caterpillar (clever name, right?) like this one: http://www.lsuagcenter.com/mcms/webtools/image.aspx?Watermark=ZABlAGYAYQB1AGwAdAA=&ResourcePath=/NR/rdonlyres/277B3944-46E9-4ECA-B3C6-B056C5417598/49629/RHACANDADULT.jpg It's technically a moth. I usually recommend spraying for them with Bt (Baccillus thuringenisis), a bacteria which kills caterpillars when they eat foliage that has been sprayed.
