,,,,,,,,~~ 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. , , , , ¶&&\~~,,,,
