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.
