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.
