It's a female. Found it in the supermarket :D But I took it outside :)
"This crab-like spider weaves no web, rather she waits in ambush in flowers. To improve the odds this spider can slowly change colors to help in blend in with its background. Crab spiders can be either yellow or white, and the young spiders change colors much faster than older ones. They also change to white faster than to yellow.
