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.
