I wouldn't worry about it.  Those digestive juices can be quite deadly to a bug.  Think of it as protein . We all swallow a bug now and then.  Think of what those motorcyclists eat that are not wearing full helmets!

It probably won't hurt her.  What is it they say?  The average person swallows 8 spiders in their lifetime?  I don't know if that's true, but I'm sure it's not the first or last time she's ingested an insect.  Do you know what type of insect it was?  Is she showing any strange symptoms?  If she is getting sick or is in pain, have her see a doctor.  If not, she'll probably be fine.  Hope this helps.
