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.
