hawkmoths and birds

[Andrea Hoffmann]

hi folks,

jurong bird park called up a guy from nature society singapore and asked a
few questions concerning a hawkmoth explosion on their cape jasmine
treelets in the enclosures. basically they were wondering if the birds
would die from eating the caterpillars. (i don't have details on what kind
of hawkmoths they encountered)

i haven't found anything in my moth books. is there anybody who could shed
some light on that?

thanks a ton,

andrea :)
