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.
