Assassin Bug molt(large pics)

My assassin just molted into a sub-adult on Friday. Here are a few pics.

And I did a little playing around with its old skin.

What are the white strands coming out of the molt?

Breathing tubes or something like that. It's to help circulate oxygen through it's body.
