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.
