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.
