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.
