My dog licked a woolly caterpillar. What delayed symptoms might appear?

Question

I think Sirius may have licked a wooly caterpillar this morning. He seems ok. Do I need to be on alert for a delayed reaction? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 8 months and 6 days old | 23.6 lbs
