>>Oh...he ate a Gypsy Moth Caterpillar. I see that they are NOT the same as Tent Caterpillars as I had originally assumed. Sorry!

They will eat just about any type of bug or insect. I live in the desert SW and mine really like to eat stink bugs....the black hard shelled ones. They'll eat crickets, grasshopper, worms....etc.....They will also eat carrion.
