Sassacus vitis
Small gold and creme spider with two black and white spots on the sides of the abdomen. This one was maybe 4 mm long. "The body is covered in iridescent scales which flash either green or gold in strong light (often doesn't show up well in photographs). This iridescence has been explained as mimicking of certain beetles, but more recently it's been suggested that it may be for mimicking of water droplets." - BugGuide
