It survived anyways.
The animal seemed to have odd behavior for a dying specimen; despite initially being too exhausted to walk, it displayed a short bout of suspicious antenna-waving (normally moribund beetles refuse to move unless poked around) in my hand.
I just concluded it was somewhat healthy but still moribund.
Then, I noticed it had changed positions in its container when I wasn't looking.
After prodding it a bit more around midnight, it walked without showing weakness and slowly ate a fruit piece.
As of this afternoon it is quite healthy. Perhaps it was simply stunned for a few hours after being overheated in its spiderweb...?
