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.
