Jumping spider issue

[Bee123456]

Hi everyone,
Since a short time i have a jumping spider. I feed her curled winged flies. As soon as he sees the fly he jumps on it and grabs it.
Then he just walked around the cage with its prey and after a while he dropped it again. Without eating.
What could be the reason of this?
Thanks
Btw, i catched him in the wild.

maybe he's preparing for a molt. was the fly still alive afterwards?

He killed the fly. So the fly is dead afterwards

How long ago did you feed him the fly? And when did he last actually eat?

I feed him yesterday, this is the first time i feeded him. I caught him this weekend

It could be that he already ate before you caught him, is a bit stressed from the sudden change, or he might be nearly ready to molt. What are you keeping him in and also, do you know what species he is?

Its a Marpissa muscosa i believe, she is in a glass cage with some wood

Any chance you could get a closer one of the spider? I can't see him well enough to ID him. You could maybe add some more cover in there for him. Like leaves or fake plants so he can hide if he wants to. Also, do you have ventilation?
