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.
