¨¨&¨&¨¨¨¨& 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. &¨&&¨&&&&&
