Ladybird Pupa a Goner?

in Plants
So I've had the pleasure of this little one for the past few days.

Checked on it this morning only to find it had been webbed.

I've taken off what I can without disturbing it too much but is it already done for? Would it be worth moving it to a safer location in case the culprit comes back for it?

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of seeing a ladybird emerging from its casing.
The newly hatched ladybird was bright yellow with no spots and its wings were still protruding from the back.
A hour later it was gone - hopefully to eat the abundant aphids in my garden
