Without a photo of an insect I can only guess. There are a lot of insects out there but 4 lined plant bugs are out feeding now and they will eat almost anything.
You basically have cosmetic damage. Your Azalea looks healthy but chewed on.
I don;\’t recommend doing anything - just the it recover on its own.
