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.
