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.
