Mantis behavior after molt

Hi all, I have a Peacock Mantis that went through a molt a little over two weeks ago. Ever since the molt, the mantis has laid on his back a majority of the time. If prodded, he will get up and scurry around and act just fine. He is also eating normally, albeit, eating while laying on his back. I've had the mantis for over a year now. Just wondering what might have happened during or after the molt to cause this behavior. Thanks.

that sounds like it never went all the way through with the molt and there is still somepart stuck on it making it uncomfortable
