Misumenoides formosipes (crab spider) According to "Spiderman" Brian Carroll, this flower crab spider cannot change its color like a chameleon. He performed an experiment and disproved the myth that this spider can change to white or cream if placed on a white flower. What he did discover, however, is that if a yellow crab spider lays her eggs on a white-flowered plant, her offspring will be white, not yellow. Furthermore, if a white crab spider lays her eggs on a yellow-flowered plant her offspring will be yellow, not white.

A jumping spider such as the one you've described typically belong to the arachnid family called Salticidae. The particular one you've described sounds like it may be a Jotus auripes. The spiders in this family are not venomous. Without seeing the spider identification isn't certain, so you shouldn't try to handle the spider until positive identification can be made.
