Help me identify these pests that are eating my plants!?

Question

Well, these horrible creatures have been eating the leaves and leaving number of holes in them. It seems like I have no chance at eradicating them.

Pictures are at the end, but here's a quick overview of their description. They're about a centimeter long. It uses the leaves that it chews to use as camouflage. I opened one up and it looks like a caterpillar. Then again all insect larvae look like that, but I haven't seen it transform into anything.
