It depends on the species. Short-beaked echidnas of Australia do not eat caterpillars. their diet is comprised solely of termites and ants. The long-beaked echidna, which is found on the island of New Guinea, has a more varied diet, feeding on worms, insects, insect larvae and other invertebrates, so this would include caterpillars whenever the opportunity is presented.
