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.
