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.
