Hello,
As you have swallowed an insect which is made of proteins. We all know our stomach contains strong acid to digest proteins, so no problem with having an insect swallowed and don't worry nothing bad will happen.
That insect is gone means digested in one hour, so nothing to worry about, chill.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
