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.
