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.
