Yes, this is a severe infestation of azalea lace bugs. Here is our webpage--be sure to open the publication link at the bottom for more detail on timing: https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/thrips-houseplants Check the label of pesticides closely for temperature limits when spraying!
If this is a chronic problem caused by a too-sunny location, consider moving the shrubs.
