Tom Spiders are not my forte but I believe this is a green lynx spider. The western variations look a little different than the eastern ones. And the abdomen looks a little large but it could be a female about to lay eggs. This type of spider is recognized by their distinctive eyes, numerous spines on their legs, and bright colors in some species. Like most spiders they feed on other insects. They are found on grasses, shrubs, and trees. And as the name implies they are quick to jump on their prey. Bugguide says "Lynx's are very protective of their egg sacs, guarding them avidly. Many will not eat while guarding eggs, and often die of starvation as a result."
