¨¨&¨&¨&¨&¨ 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. ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨&
