&&¨¨&¨¨&&¨ 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. &&¨¨&¨&&¨¨
