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.
