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.
