no
Birds, Hedgehogs, various Rodents and even come other Bugs like ants will be pleased to eat a cartapillar. I am told that when hungry a fox or a badger will resort to eating bugs, this would probably include sartarpillars.The main enemy to caterpillars is birds. However, teams of ants ocassionally kill a caterpillar for food.

When ants start eating cat food, they can contaminate the food and make it unsuitable for the cat to eat. Ants can also attract other pests and create a mess around the food bowl. It is important to store cat food in airtight containers and clean up any spills to prevent ants from getting to it.

The movement of ants in a dog's stomach may cause them to vomit after eating ants. When a dog ingest ants, to them, it may feel like a tickling sensation, which causes them to vomit.
