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.
