¨.-^^§@### 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. ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ###@§^^-.¨
