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.
