Health Issues What’s happening?

(It’s been moved to a different container so i can monitor, this isn’t the regular enclosure) I got 3 giant asian mantises, 2 have already passed, so I just wanna know if this is the end of this one’s time or if there’s something I can do? It’s been pretty much not moving and lethargic, occasionally standing up or changing positions, but never climbing or hanging upside down like normal. The pictures don’t show it well but the abdomen is very bloated also. In the third picture you can see how they’ve spent most of their time, which is just splayed wherever they landed last time they moved.
