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.
