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.
