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.
