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.
