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.
