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.
