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.
