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.
