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.
