I think so! Thanks for posting.

I actually study changes in color in response to the environment in insects, so here, for once, I can argue that I was NOT wasting time while perusing a fishing site! I should probably spend more time here...

(Original article was in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, not "Medical Daily" as stated by the Field & Stream article, by the way.)

I once saw a carp blush. But I'm sworn to secrecy about the rest of the story.
