Moth caterpillar? It seems green gastric contents are visible. Preparing to pupate?

I don't sure, but some ichneumonids parasitize on some (e. g. tetragnathid) spiders. On final stage larva suck out the spider's opisthosoma and then it pupate in dead spider's web.

Hi!

It's the pupation net of the Apple Leaf miner Lyonetia clerkella (Lyonetiidae).
