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.
