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.
