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.
