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.
