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.
