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.
