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.
