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.
