There was a bubble when my chinese mantis was having its last molt and the mantis was smaller and dried up it never did end up finishing molt :( but i was wondering why this bubble appeared and it got big and then popped it was green colored. B4 the molt happened its butt or abdomen was bent.

 
Was the bubble on the spot where the abdomin was bent ? I had afew chinese mantids that had that problem some of them moulted just fine. I did have some that in the process of moulting bleed out at the spot the abdomin was bent. It seemed to me that the skin underneath before the moult becomes weak from bending so often. The bubble was probally full of air and blood.
