What a cutie! He almost looks like a baby leopard in color (the spots get clearer as they get bigger), but even my smallest baby was bigger than he is. It looks like he still has a bit of a tail bump, so he's probably just moving over to insects. And it's a good thing you brought him home, because frogs will happily attempt to eat smaller froglets and tadpoles.
I agree that flightless fruit flies or tiny pinhead crickets are your best bet-in general, the rule of thumb with frogs is that the prey should be about the distance between your eyes.
Hopefully you'll find out more about the little guy.
Make sure you have a good lid-it's amazing how far little frogs can jump, how well even non-tree frogs can manage to climb, and how small of a crack they can squeeze through.
