Hi meatismurder,
Ther are various moth caterpillars that will feed on rhodo's, one likely suspect is winter moth.
Caterpillars rarely do extensive damage to rhodo's but it sounds like you have quite a lot of them, so it may be worth your while spraying them with a pesticide containing pirimiphos-methyl, fenitrothion or permethrin.
