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.
