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.
