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.
