Thank you for your question. Your photo is too "fuzzy" to identify the species that is infesting your hydrangea, and I see no leaf rolling. So, I suspect you have one of those described here: https://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/GARDEN/PLANTS/INVERT/folfeedcater.html
Get rid of the caterpillars, and any leaves they have eaten. Follow other recommendations in the article. Good luck!
