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.
