What kind of spider is this?

It's labeled "pink and white crab spider" and google is turning up very little info (just more people asking "WHAT'S THIS PINK SPIDER?!") so I'm looking for a scientific name for it...or anything that will help me find information on it. I'm also seeing that crab spiders can change color...? Is this true and if so does that mean that this spider is not normally pink? Also, do people keep crab spiders in captivity? Do any of you have crab spiders? If so I'm curious about their care/behavior. Thanks!

Not sure what kind of specific crab spider it is, but it certainly looks like one. Here's a good article I found on crab spider...

The cutest spider! :O

Based off that I believe it is Thomisus onustus. But I'm still for care info and personal experiences.

Neat. Looks like they can change colors as well.

It looks like it would taste like unicorn hair and rainbow cupcakes. O_O I'm sure eating it wouldn't be the best idea though....
