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.
