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.
