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.
