The nutritional analysis that I had done with the food that I feed my hornworms (not mulberry chow) came back as follows.
Moisture - 85%
Protein - 9%
Fat - 3%
Calcium - 46.4mg/100g sample
Hope this helps!
I linked you to a chart below whihc includes sevewral insects incl. silkies. as for hornworms they are about 58% protein, full grown a bit fatty, but an animal usually does not eat many full grown.
