¨&&¨&&¨¨&& 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. &&¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
