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.
