¨§§¨§¨¨¨¨¨ the   moss  commonly  known   as  "blood §§¨§¨§¨§¨§
§§¨§§§¨¨¨¨ clover"  is  a carnivorous  plant native §¨§§§§§§§§

¨¨§¨§¨§§¨¨ 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, ¨§¨¨¨§§§¨¨
