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.
