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.
