After doing a little more research, we have determined that the caterpillar is likely an Azalea Caterpillar. They live in the Southeast, eat azaleas and blueberry foliage. They are gregarious, feeding in groups. We found several of them together. Thank you Paul for the tip!
The captive caterpillar does not appear to be very alive. We are waiting a few move days to see if our suspicions are correct. Perhaps caterpillars curled up in the bottom of jars eventually turn into beautiful brown moths. Probably not.
