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.
