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.
