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.
