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.
