Yes, i'm sure there's nothing left of that tree after an entire week!
Here's a shot from last week. There were hundreds of these baby cats on that tree:

Would they have turned into moths or butterflies?

Should be the Malayan Eggfly (a dark brown butterfly with some white spots), they'd feverishly lay eggs on the poor tree once it grows its leaves. Once they finish eating up the leaves, most would be eaten by birds.

Some people transferred them to neighbouring plants or trees when the tree is almost botak, so that they might be able to survive.

That will be disturbing the equilibrium of the ecosystem......not enough food = less butterflies = less creepie crawlers = trees a chance to grow
Unless these ppl are growing extra trees to rear butterflies....

Thanks loboclerk. Now I know Malayan Eggfly...hm...
