Default Loquats for wildlife?

I'm wildscaping my San Antonio/Hill Country backyard with native,
critter-friendly plants. A neighbor's loquat has escaped and
volunteered, and is now about two feet tall. I'm wondering:
1) What Texas wildlife will eat loquat: sqirrels, possum and/or
racoon?
2) I hear the bees love loquat, but do the butterflies?
3) These are growing in the shade: do they need to be in the sun to
flower and fruit?
Many thanks,
Bill
