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.
