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.
