What is the total dry weight of organisms in each level of a food chain or biomass pyramid?

Say, for example, you have a basic food pyramid consisting of two levels. A tree and caterpillars. The dry mass of the caterpillars mentioned on the level, which could be any amount of caterpillars, is the weight of the caterpillars minus any water. It's the same for all of the levels, but the number tends to be greater on the lower levels. The only two ways to work this out is to "Dry out" the organisms, which would kill them, or by estimating it using an average dry mass for the organism mentioned.
