Brief answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child has might ate a cherry with insect in it but i want to clarify to you that most insects or worms do not survive the acidic pH in our stomach.
Also, since your child is not complaining of fever or stomach ache, i think that you should not worry about this.
Wishing your child good health. Take care.
