BLOOD CLOVER              
                          
                                          
 THE  MOSS  COMMONLY   KNOWN   AS  "BLOOD 
 CLOVER" IS  A CARNIVOROUS  PLANT  NATIVE 
 TO NORTHERN EURASIA. DESPITE  ITS  NAME, 
 IT'S   ACTUALLY   A   KIND    OF   MOSS. 
                                          
                                    
                                          
 BLOOD  CLOVER IS IN  ITS  DORMANT  STATE 
  INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM REGULAR CLOVER.  
 WHEN  DISTURBED,  IT  PRODUCES  A  THICK 
 STICKY  SAP THAT  WILL  ENSNARE  ANIMALS 
 THAT ARE TOO WEAK TO  MOVE  AWAY (FROGS, 
 MICE,  INSECTS)  AND SLOWLY  MELT  THEM. 
 THE   PLANT  THEN  FEEDS   OFF   OF  THE 
  NUTRIENTS RELEASED. DURING FEEDING THE  
 LEAVES WILL  TAKE  ON  A  REDDISH  TINT, 
 FROM  WHICH  THE  PLANT  GET ITS  COMMON 
 NAME.                                
                                          
 YOU  CAN   SOMETIMES  SPOT  BLEEDING  OR 
 SCARS ALONG  THE LEGS  OF BIGGER ANIMALS 
 WHO'S  LINGERED  IN  THE MOSS  FOR  SOME 
 TIME.                                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 THE  SAP HAS BEEN  USED  FOR TATTOOS. IT 
 IS REPORTEDLY  FAINT BUT PLEASANT TO THE 
 TASTE,  AND  CAN   OF  COURSE   ONLY  BE 
       CONSUMED IN SMALL QUANTITIES.
