Budwings tend to be a very hardy and healthy species. They do love to eat though and can fill up a lot, you should feed more than twice a week unless you're feeding very large prey. Your nymph looks like the right size for house and bottle flies, small moths like waxmoths, and young roaches. Food should be about 1/4 to half the mantis's body length.
