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.
