Good evening.

I noticed a delphinium leaf hanging down wilted but still attached. Inside the wilted leaf I found this caterpillar. Any ideas on what it is from and how to spray.

It looks like an Orthosia, which is a moth.

Thanks for that Myron. Are they regular delphinium munchers or is it a one off

Try not to spray it, the moths need as much help as the butterflies to survive and if you don't care about the moths - they are all part of a food chain.
