If the cham is still alive, then it probably isn't the end of the world (if the bug had been poisonous, your cham probably would have shown symptoms of it by now).

However, whenever chams eat wild bugs, there is always a risk that they pick up parasites from them. Just make sure that you continue to have regular fecal checks done by your vet to test for parasites, and you should be ok.

He probably enjoyed the variation from his regular diet.
(in future though, try to identify any wild bugs BEFORE you allow your cham to eat them, just in case)
