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.
