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.
